Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPNE 17 005
The FY 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), numbered PRM PRMOAPNE 17 005, is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It supports NGO-led programs that benefit refugees and other vulnerable populations in Afghanistan and Pakistan, with awards structured as cooperative agreements. The assistance is framed around PRM's core mission: providing protection, humanitarian assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and people affected by conflict.
Program priorities differ by country. In Afghanistan, proposals are expected to center on protection-oriented work, specifically including child protection and/or gender-based violence prevention and response, and may also include activities that strengthen livelihoods and provide psychosocial assistance. In Pakistan, the NOFO emphasizes programs that address protection and/or education needs. Across both contexts, the opportunity is targeted toward practical, on-the-ground interventions that reduce protection risks and improve the safety, well-being, and longer-term resilience of affected communities.
A central eligibility and program design requirement is that PRM will only consider projects where at least 50 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees or returnees. This threshold is explicit and reflects PRM's mandate, meaning applicants must be prepared to define, document, and credibly justify that their beneficiary targeting meets or exceeds this minimum share. Projects that primarily serve other vulnerable groups without meeting this refugee/returnee majority requirement would not align with the stated funding criteria.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity category, with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 19.519. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $1,500,000, indicating the upper limit PRM would provide per award under this announcement.
The NOFO also draws a clear line regarding international multilateral organizations. United Nations agencies and other multilateral entities are instructed not to submit proposals through Grants.gov under this announcement. Instead, multilateral organizations interested in funding for relevant programming are directed to contact the PRM Program Officer identified in the full announcement, and to do so on or before the closing date. This indicates the call is structured primarily for NGOs via the Grants.gov process, while multilateral funding discussions are handled through a separate channel.
Key administrative details include a creation date of January 10, 2017, and an original closing date of February 9, 2017. Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund NGO programs in Afghanistan and Pakistan that deliver protection-centered assistance (with added emphasis on GBV, child protection, psychosocial support, and livelihoods in Afghanistan, and protection and education in Pakistan) while ensuring that refugees and returnees are the primary beneficiaries.Apply for PRM PRMOAPNE 17 005
