What the grant funds
The Julia Taft Refugee Fund supports one-time, low-cost interventions that address important gaps in protection and assistance for refugees. PRM launched this initiative in 2000 under former PRM Assistant Secretary Julia Taft to provide Ambassadors with the means to respond to critical humanitarian gaps not addressed by international humanitarian organizations and NGOs through local and national humanitarian organizations. The U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa would like to announce an open competition for local/national humanitarian organizations to submit applications to carry out humanitarian projects in the DRC that provide assistance to refugees and/or refugee returnees or focus on persons at risk of statelessness or stateless persons.
