Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008576
The "2022 Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela Full Proposals" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008576) is a U.S. Department of State grant competition run by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It was posted on February 4, 2022, with a proposal deadline of March 8, 2022. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means PRM expects a more hands-on partnership than a standard grant, including ongoing coordination, monitoring, and involvement in key implementation decisions.
This opportunity is designed to fund humanitarian protection, assistance, and solutions-oriented programming for "populations of concern" connected to displacement in the region, specifically Colombian and Venezuelan affected populations located in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The core focus aligns with PRM's mandate: protection, life-saving and stabilizing assistance, and durable or sustainable solutions for people forced to flee or otherwise harmed by conflict and crisis. Applicants are directed to consult country-specific guidelines, indicating that priorities, geographic focus, target groups, and allowable activities may differ by country and are expected to shape how projects are designed and justified.
A central eligibility and program-design requirement is the beneficiary composition rule: PRM will only consider programs where at least 50 percent of the targeted beneficiaries are refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants. In practice, this means proposals must clearly define who will be served, document how the project will reach and verify those groups, and show through targets and indicators that displaced and vulnerable cross-border populations make up at least half of the people receiving services. Programs that primarily serve general host communities without meeting that threshold would not be competitive under PRM's stated mandate.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000 per award and anticipates making around 15 awards. The catalog number associated with the funding is CFDA 19.518 (now often referenced as an assistance listing), which is commonly associated with refugee assistance and related humanitarian programming under PRM. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, meaning funding decisions are competitive and based on merit, alignment with PRM priorities, and available funds rather than being formula-driven.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full announcement. That phrasing typically signals that a range of organization types may apply (often including non-governmental organizations and other qualified entities), but the specific eligibility rules, documentation requirements, and any restrictions would be contained in the full notice and the country annexes. Overall, this solicitation is intended for organizations capable of delivering protection-centered humanitarian and stabilization support in the Andean region and Venezuela, with a clear requirement to prioritize refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants as the main beneficiary base.Apply for SFOP0008576
