About this opportunity
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) at the U.S. Department of State has announced a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) for programs that support Internet Freedom. DRL's goal is to protect the open, secure, and reliable internet by promoting human rights and the free flow of information online. Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign non-profit/non-governmental organizations, public/private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations, with preference given to non-profits. Statements of Interest (SOIs) must be submitted by January 9, 2025 and will be evaluated based on criteria such as quality of program idea, addressing barriers to equal participation, program planning, and institutional capacity. Selected applicants will be invited to submit full proposals.
The Federal Grant Opportunity is funded under the International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor grant program (CFDA 19.345), which typically awards between $500,000 to $15 million per project, with performance periods of 12-36 months. Projects are expected to be carried out in various regions facing democratic backsliding or human rights challenges, such as Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
