Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005439
The "2019 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO programs benefiting refugees and asylum seekers in Thailand" (Opportunity Number SFOP0005439) is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the U.S. government expects a relatively close working relationship with the award recipient during implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity was created on October 1, 2018, with an original application deadline of October 31, 2018. PRM anticipated making about three awards under this notice, with an award ceiling listed at $11,000,000.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support programs that primarily benefit refugees and asylum seekers located in Thailand. PRM is explicit about who must be served: projects will only be considered if at least 50 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), or other PRM-defined populations of concern. In practical terms, this requirement pushes applicants to design projects where refugees and asylum seekers are not a secondary audience but the central focus, and to be able to demonstrate that focus through beneficiary targeting, outreach plans, and monitoring approaches that clearly show the participant mix. Activities may include support to additional vulnerable groups, but the project will not be competitive or even eligible for PRM consideration if it cannot meet the 50 percent threshold for PRM populations of concern.
Applicants must align proposed activities with one or more of PRM's priority sectors, as laid out in PRM's General NGO Guidelines. The eligible sector areas for this Thailand-focused notice include protection (such as legal assistance, documentation support, case management, and rights-based services), gender-based violence prevention and response (including survivor-centered services, safe referral pathways, and risk mitigation), child protection (such as best interests procedures, family tracing, case management, and safe spaces), health (supporting access to essential health services), and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), which can cover community-based psychosocial care and other structured supports that address trauma and stress. The notice also includes water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) activities, nutrition and food security interventions, livelihoods support designed to improve self-reliance where feasible, and shelter-related assistance. The structure of the announcement suggests PRM was open to a range of interventions, as long as they are clearly tied to humanitarian protection and assistance outcomes for the target populations in Thailand.
Funding limits are a key compliance point in this opportunity. While the announcement lists an overall ceiling amount, it also states that applicants must follow the summary budget information provided in the country-specific provisions of the full Notice of Opportunity. Proposals that fall outside the specified range in those provisions will be disqualified, meaning budget sizing is not simply a competitiveness issue but an eligibility requirement. For applicants, that implies careful attention to the specific Thailand budget parameters in the full notice, including any minimum or maximum request levels, allowable cost categories, and other restrictions that PRM may apply to ensure consistency with its priorities and expected award sizes.
Eligibility is geared toward nongovernmental organizations and related entities. The opportunity is open to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and to nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). It also lists an "Others" category, with the note that additional eligibility details are provided elsewhere in the full opportunity materials. The program is cataloged under CFDA number 19.511, indicating it falls within PRM's assistance portfolio. Overall, the notice is designed for organizations capable of delivering targeted, sector-specific assistance in Thailand with a demonstrated ability to reach refugees and asylum seekers as the primary beneficiary group, while meeting PRM's budget and compliance expectations under a cooperative agreement framework.Apply for SFOP0005439
