Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 013
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Promote and Protect the Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Women and Girls, LGBTI persons and other Marginalized Individuals" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 18 013; CFDA: 19.345). The opportunity is issued as a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI), meaning DRL is first seeking concise concept-level submissions from civil society and other eligible entities to identify strong program ideas before moving forward in the selection process.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support programs that promote and protect the human rights of marginalized populations, with an emphasis on groups that frequently face targeted violence and discrimination, including persons with disabilities, women and girls, LGBTI persons, and other marginalized individuals. DRL is specifically looking for projects that recognize how overlapping identities and conditions can compound risk and exclusion. In practice, this means proposals should reflect an intersectional approach, for example acknowledging how disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, social class, ethnicity, or other factors can interact to shape a person's exposure to violence, barriers to justice, and access to services and protection.
The solicitation highlights two closely linked program aims. First, it seeks initiatives that address violence and discrimination directed at marginalized populations, framing these abuses not only as individual harms but also as broader threats that can weaken a society's collective security. Second, it seeks programs that equip marginalized people and communities with practical tools and support to prevent violence where possible, mitigate harm when threats occur, and recover after violence or discrimination has taken place. This focus suggests DRL is interested in interventions that strengthen safety, resilience, and rights protection mechanisms, such as community-based protection strategies, improved access to reporting and referral pathways, legal and psychosocial support, capacity building for local advocates, documentation of abuses, and efforts that reduce impunity and structural discrimination.
Funding is offered through a grant mechanism, with an award ceiling of $450,000. The opportunity expected to make multiple awards (the exact number is not specified in the provided source). The original posting date (creation date) is October 5, 2017, and the original closing date for submissions is October 27, 2017, indicating a relatively short window for responding during that cycle.
A broad range of applicants are eligible. Eligible entities include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. This wide eligibility is consistent with DRL's interest in drawing from civil society, academic, and private-sector capabilities, as long as proposed activities clearly align with human rights outcomes for marginalized communities.
Overall, this opportunity is designed for organizations that can propose realistic, rights-based programming centered on the lived experiences of marginalized groups, demonstrate an understanding of intersectional discrimination, and show how their approach will help people and communities better prevent, withstand, and recover from targeted violence and exclusion.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 013
