Migration Management

The Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) funds programs to curb illegal migration to the United States through support for voluntary returns from the U.S. or third countries and assistance to foreign governments in managing migration, under CFDA 19.042.

PRM provides funding to help migrants voluntarily return to their country of origin or establish legal status, either directly from the United States or from transit countries. The program also supports foreign governments in managing migration flows while upholding national sovereignty and security. Funding flows to third parties, including international organizations, and through government-to-government agreements that align with U.S. immigration policy objectives. The Assistant Secretary of PRM makes funding decisions based on recommendations from the Bureau's Office of Remigration and other Bureau offices, with a warranted grants officer executing the agreement.

Recipients must include Bureau funds in independent audits performed by independent public accountants in accordance with U.S. Government Auditing Standards. Audit reports are due 30 days after issuance or nine months after the end of the audit period. Record retention and access requirements follow 2 CFR 200.334–.338. International organizations are exempt from 2 CFR 200 compliance requirements.

The source material does not include a grant award portfolio, recent grant awards, or open grant opportunities, so the current activity level, award cadence, typical award magnitudes, assistance-type mix, and specific recent funding activity cannot be determined from the information provided. Organizations interested in this program should contact PRM directly to determine current funding availability and solicitation status.
