## What the grant funds

The Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is launching a private sponsorship of refugees (PSR) pilot program in calendar year 2022 as part of PRM’s efforts to expand domestic community sponsorship in refugee resettlement. PRM seeks to partner with one or more non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to develop and manage the new operational infrastructure that will be required to organize Private Sponsor Groups and Organizations (defined further below) in order to launch the PSR pilot program and scale it over time. Specifically, PRM requests concept notes from operational partners proposing activities that will cover at least one or more of the seven components of core operational infrastructure for the PSR pilot program outlined further below (see “Specific Guidance for Concept Notes”).
