Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005582
The "2019 Venezuelan Refugee and Migrant Regional Response" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005582) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) as a discretionary funding opportunity to support humanitarian and protection-focused work responding to displacement from Venezuela. The call was designed for concept notes proposing activities that primarily assist Venezuelan refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants who are in vulnerable situations, with an emphasis on addressing urgent protection and assistance needs while also supporting pathways toward sustainable solutions.
Geographically, PRM directed applicants to focus proposed activities in key host and transit contexts across the region: Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil, as well as countries in the Caribbean region and the Central American region (as defined in the funding notice). In practice, this framing signals that PRM was seeking regionally relevant responses tailored to the realities of mixed migration flows, including cross-border displacement, irregular status, and heightened risks of exploitation and abuse, while prioritizing places experiencing significant Venezuelan arrivals and pressure on local services.
A central eligibility condition in the description is the beneficiary targeting requirement tied to PRM's mandate. PRM stated it would consider funding only projects where at least 51 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees, asylum seekers, or other vulnerable migrants. This threshold is important because it clarifies that while host communities may benefit indirectly or through complementary components, the primary measurable reach of the project must be directed toward displaced and at-risk Venezuelan populations (or other qualifying displaced groups, depending on the project design), and applicants would need to demonstrate this in their targeting plan and expected outputs.
The funding instrument type for this opportunity was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies a more active role for the U.S. government in monitoring, coordination, or technical engagement than a standard grant. The listed award ceiling was $2,000,000 per award, establishing the maximum size of an individual award under this notice. The opportunity was created on February 8, 2019, with an original closing date of March 4, 2019, indicating a relatively short application window focused on rapid response. The funding activity category was listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the notice), suggesting flexibility in the types of interventions proposed so long as they align with PRM's protection, assistance, and solutions mandate.
In terms of applicant eligibility, the listing indicates "Others" with further details referenced in an eligibility clarification field. While the summary data does not specify which organizations qualify, the notation signals that PRM expected a defined set of eligible entities described in the full announcement rather than an open, unrestricted applicant pool. Finally, the synopsis lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which commonly reflects that the number of awards was not predetermined or not entered into the system at the time of posting, rather than indicating that no awards would ultimately be made.Apply for SFOP0005582
