Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008687
The 2022 Notice of Funding Opportunity (SFOP0008687) is a discretionary U.S. government grant competition run by the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) to support NGO programming in Chad and in southeast Nigeria. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means PRM expects more active involvement during implementation than with a standard grant, including closer coordination on plans, reporting, and program adjustments. The funding is tied to CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.517 and was posted on March 3, 2022, with an application deadline of April 4, 2022.
The central program requirement is that proposed activities must primarily benefit refugees and asylum seekers located in Chad or Nigeria, and the work must concentrate in one or more of the following sectors: education, health, and protection. PRM is explicit that its mandate is protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, and that mandate drives a strict beneficiary targeting rule: PRM will only consider proposals where at least 50 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees and asylum seekers. In practice, this means projects that mainly serve host communities, internally displaced persons, or broader vulnerable populations would not fit unless the applicant can clearly document that refugees and asylum seekers make up at least half of the direct target population and that the program design reflects their specific needs and barriers to access.
On funding size, the notice lists an award ceiling of $2,500,000 per award. The posting does not specify the exact number of awards expected (the field appears blank), so applicants would need to plan around the ceiling and design a scope that is credible and deliverable within PRM's typical performance and compliance expectations for cooperative agreements. Because the activity category is listed as "Other," the emphasis is less about fitting a narrow domestic program type and more about meeting PRM's humanitarian objectives in the specified locations and sectors.
Eligibility is open to several organizational types. U.S.-based nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status are eligible, as are nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education). International organizations are also eligible, but with an important caveat: international multilateral organizations, including UN agencies, are told not to apply through Grants.gov under this announcement. Instead, multilaterals seeking support for relevant programming are instructed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer on or before the closing date. This distinction matters because it signals PRM is directing the Grants.gov competition primarily toward NGOs and other non-multilateral implementers, while providing a separate coordination path for UN or similar multilateral entities.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as PRM support for field programming that directly strengthens refugee and asylum seeker wellbeing and safety in Chad and southeast Nigeria through service delivery and systems that align with education, health, and protection priorities. Competitive proposals under this notice would be expected to clearly define the refugee/asylum-seeker population to be served, demonstrate that refugees and asylum seekers comprise at least half of all beneficiaries, and present sector-specific interventions that reflect PRM's protection-centered mandate and humanitarian outcomes.Apply for SFOP0008687
