## What the grant funds

Overview Each year, the Julia Taft Fund awards grants of up to $25,000 USD per country with the goal of addressing gaps in refugee assistance, by issuing grants to local nonprofit organizations for quick-impact projects. Grants are intended to address one-time needs or interventions, and/or respond to needs not addressed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The activities of the proposed project should not be directed to sustained, long-term programs. We encourage community-based organizations (CBOs) and NGOs to submit proposals. Please note the beneficiaries of your proposed project must be at least 50 percent refugees, internally displaced persons, vulnerable migrants, and/or stateless persons, and are not intended to directly address the needs of undocumented/illegal migrants in general. Priorities for FY2021 This year, we encourage applicant organizations to submit proposals that include at least one of the following angles: Advocacy: including activities that encourage local and/or central governments to change policies in a positive way. For example, proposed quick-impact projects, in addition to focusing on needs and interventions, could also include a roundtable to which government representatives are invited, or could result in a report or publication that is shared with government officials with recommendations. Projects that duplicate the work or services provided by UNHCR or other multilateral refugee programs will not be considered. Refugee Education & Work Readiness (new for 2021): including activities that prepare refugees and asylum seekers for inclusion in the Thai education system and workforce. Projects that focus primarily on non-refugee migrants, or that duplicate the work or services provided by UNHCR or other major NGO programs will not be considered. Grant Application Process and Timeline Applying for a Julia Taft grant is a two-phase process. Phase 1 – Short Concept Note: Organizations interested in applying for the Julia Taft Grant should submit a Concept Note with a limit of 400 words (2-3 paragraphs recommended) providing a brief description of the organization and its goals, stating the main objective and activities of the project to be implemented, and providing an estimated requested budget. The deadline to submit the concept note is 11:59pm (Bangkok time), Monday, January 25, 2021.
