Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008613
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) released a discretionary grant funding opportunity titled "DRL Strengthening Human Rights and Accountability in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008613). The program is structured as an open competition, meaning eligible organizations can submit proposals to support projects that advance the stated goals rather than funding being directed to a single pre-selected recipient. The core purpose is to support efforts that strengthen human rights protections and improve accountability mechanisms in Israel and in the West Bank and Gaza, aligning with DRL's broader mandate to promote democratic governance, respect for human rights, and the rule of law.
This opportunity uses a grant as the funding instrument, and it is categorized under a broad "Other" funding activity classification, indicating the work may span multiple types of human rights and accountability programming rather than fitting neatly into one narrow category. While the listing does not provide detailed programmatic examples in the excerpt provided, the title and description point to initiatives that could reasonably include documentation of human rights conditions, support for accountability processes, capacity-building for civil society actors, legal assistance or advocacy aimed at rights protection, and activities that improve transparency and institutional responsiveness. The intended geographic focus is explicitly Israel and the West Bank and Gaza, signaling that proposed projects should be designed with that operating environment, relevant stakeholders, and on-the-ground realities in mind.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 19.345, which is used for tracking and classification of federal assistance programs. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $987,654, establishing the upper bound for any single award under this competition. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which typically indicates that the number of awards was not specified in the posting data or was not entered at the time, rather than confirming that no awards will be made. Applicants would normally confirm the anticipated number of awards and any typical award sizes by consulting the full announcement package and related documents.
Eligibility is noted as "Others," with the expectation that the full notice includes additional clarification on which types of entities qualify to apply. In practice, DRL competitions commonly attract applications from nongovernmental organizations, nonprofits, civil society groups, and sometimes educational or research institutions, but the definitive eligibility rules would be in the complete eligibility section referenced in the listing. The opportunity record shows a creation date of February 11, 2022, and an original closing date of April 13, 2022, meaning proposals were due by that deadline for consideration under this specific competition cycle.
Overall, this grant opportunity is a State Department DRL call for proposals seeking practical, locally relevant projects that can measurably reinforce human rights and accountability in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza, with funding available up to just under one million dollars per award, subject to the terms and conditions laid out in the full funding opportunity announcement.Apply for SFOP0008613
