## What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for a project that supports creating an enabling and inclusive environment where citizens can advocate for human rights and democratic governance. The program should provide short-term emergency financial assistance to allow individuals and groups (‘advocates’) who are not traditional human rights defenders by profession but are defending human rights at great risk to their personal safety, especially when advocating for transparency and/or exposing corruption or abuses of power.
