Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008543
The DRL WHA Program Learning Series (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008543) is a discretionary grant competition released by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL). The opportunity is designed to fund a single program that strengthens DRL's broader objective of helping civil society organizations and human rights defenders more effectively promote and defend democracy and human rights. A central theme of the program is the use of evidence-based advocacy, meaning applicants are expected to support participants in generating, interpreting, and applying credible information, data, and learning to make their advocacy more persuasive, strategic, and impactful.
This opportunity is offered as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity area, which typically signals a cross-cutting initiative that does not fit neatly into a single standard sector label. It is associated with CFDA number 19.345, which corresponds to programs administered by DRL. The agency anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $250,000, indicating a moderately sized, focused project rather than a large multi-part initiative. The competition was created on March 24, 2022, and the original application closing date was May 23, 2022.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation. In practice, this kind of listing usually means that a range of non-traditional or broadly defined entities may be permitted to apply depending on the solicitation's terms, such as non-profit organizations, NGOs, research organizations, or other qualified groups capable of delivering learning-oriented programming. At its core, the grant supports a "program learning series," which generally implies a structured set of learning activities such as workshops, trainings, peer exchanges, webinars, or facilitated cohorts that help civil society and human rights defenders build practical skills and share lessons learned. The overall purpose is capacity-building through learning: enabling participants to use evidence more effectively in advocacy efforts tied to democracy and human rights outcomes, particularly in ways that improve the credibility and effectiveness of their work.Apply for SFOP0008543
