Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0007426
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) issued a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Reducing Violence Against Religious Minority Communities in Brazil" under funding opportunity number SFOP0007426. The program sits within DRL's broader portfolio focused on advancing democracy, protecting human rights, and strengthening rule of law, and this specific call is framed as part of DRL's work to support religious freedom globally, with an emphasis on reducing violence affecting religious minority communities in Brazil.
This opportunity uses a grant as the funding instrument and is categorized under an "Other" funding activity category (with further clarification referenced in the original posting). The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 19.345, which is commonly used for Department of State foreign assistance programming in areas related to democracy, human rights, and labor objectives. While the headline focus is Brazil and the prevention or reduction of violence against religious minorities, the posted description also signals that DRL is seeking projects that fit into its global religious freedom priorities, implying that proposed activities should clearly connect local conditions in Brazil to broader religious freedom and protection goals.
DRL anticipated making a single award under this competition, with an award ceiling of $740,740. That means applicants were expected to propose one comprehensive project rather than a set of smaller, multiple awards. The funding level also suggests a program of meaningful scale, potentially involving coordinated interventions such as monitoring and documentation of incidents, community-based protection strategies, coalition-building among civil society, public awareness efforts, engagement with local authorities, legal support or advocacy, training for stakeholders, or other evidence-based approaches that can plausibly reduce risk and harm for targeted communities. The announcement itself does not list required activities in the excerpt provided, but DRL competitions typically expect clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a strong rationale tying activities to reductions in violence or improved protection of rights.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional details to be found in the full eligibility section of the original notice. In practice, DRL opportunities commonly attract applications from nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations, civil society groups, educational institutions, and similar entities with demonstrated programmatic capacity and compliance ability for U.S. government assistance awards, but the definitive eligibility requirements would be in the full announcement language referenced in the posting.
The opportunity was created on November 19, 2020, and had an original application deadline of January 6, 2021. As posted, it was an open competition, meaning applicants were expected to submit proposals for DRL review by the deadline, and the bureau planned to select one project for funding up to the stated ceiling based on its criteria in the full solicitation.Apply for SFOP0007426
