Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 011
The Promotion and Protection of the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons opportunity is a discretionary U.S. government grant competition run through the Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) under the Global Equality Fund (GEF). The purpose of the funding is to support civil society efforts that advance the rights, safety, and equal treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people. Rather than starting immediately with a full proposal, the program begins with a Request for Statements of Interest (SOIs), meaning applicants are first asked to submit a short concept describing what they want to do, why it matters, and how they would carry it out. Selected applicants are typically invited to move forward with more detailed application materials.
The opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 18 011 and falls under a general "Other" activity category, with the associated CFDA number 19.345. It uses the grant instrument type and is administered by DRL, which commonly funds projects connected to human rights promotion, protection of civil society space, and the strengthening of democratic principles. The central theme for this call is LGBTI human rights, which generally includes efforts to reduce discrimination and violence, strengthen legal protections, expand access to justice and essential services, improve documentation of abuses, support advocacy and coalition-building, and increase the capacity and security of organizations and activists working in hostile environments.
A wide range of organizations are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), and small businesses. In practice, that eligibility scope means applications could come from established NGOs, community-based organizations, universities and research centers, advocacy groups, and certain mission-aligned companies, provided the proposed activities fit the program goals and meet U.S. government grant requirements.
The award ceiling for a single grant is listed at $500,000, indicating the maximum amount an applicant could request under this announcement. The posting does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided data, which can mean the funding may support one or multiple grants depending on available resources, program priorities, and the quality of submissions. The opportunity record shows a creation date of September 25, 2017, and an original closing date of October 27, 2017, which reflects the deadline for submitting the SOI under that specific cycle.
Overall, this funding opportunity is aimed at backing concrete, on-the-ground or policy-relevant initiatives that help protect LGBTI individuals and communities from rights violations and strengthen the ability of civil society to respond effectively. Applicants would be expected to present a clear problem statement, a realistic plan for activities and outcomes, and an explanation of why their approach is likely to advance the human rights of LGBTI persons in the context where they work.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 011
