Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS ABJ FY19 02
The Julia Taft Refugee Fund FY 2019 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS ABJ FY19 02) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Mission to Cote d'Ivoire through the U.S. Embassy in Abidjan, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The grant is designed to support practical, low-cost projects that strengthen refugee protection and assistance efforts in Cote d'Ivoire. At its core, the program is meant to fill targeted gaps that are not being met by larger, often multilateral refugee programs, giving the U.S. Ambassador a flexible tool to respond quickly to urgent or overlooked needs affecting refugees.
The focus of the funding is refugee protection, framed under the funding activity category of community development, and tied to CFDA number 19.517. Proposals are expected to address specific, clearly defined problems where a relatively small amount of funding can make a meaningful difference, such as addressing immediate protection risks, improving access to essential services, or strengthening community-based protection mechanisms. The language of the announcement emphasizes that the fund is intended for "low-cost gaps," which usually implies projects that are narrow in scope, feasible to implement within a short period, and able to demonstrate direct benefits for refugee populations.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, excluding institutions of higher education. This suggests the fund is oriented toward locally based or non-U.S. nonprofit organizations that can implement activities on the ground in Cote d'Ivoire. The instrument type is a grant, meaning selected applicants would receive financial assistance to carry out an approved project rather than a procurement-style contract for services.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $25,000 and anticipates making one award. This indicates a single, relatively small grant intended to support one partner's focused intervention, rather than multiple grants spread across different implementers. The original application deadline was March 15, 2019, and the opportunity was created on February 6, 2019, reflecting a short application window consistent with programs that aim to address immediate needs.
Overall, this grant opportunity can be understood as a small, targeted funding mechanism aimed at closing urgent protection and assistance gaps for refugees in Cote d'Ivoire. It prioritizes practical interventions that larger refugee programs may miss, and it is structured to enable rapid, locally relevant responses led by eligible nonprofit partners operating in the refugee protection space.Apply for DOS ABJ FY19 02
