The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) seeks proposals for Europe and Eurasia to democracy, human rights, and rule of law. DRL’s objective is to broaden the knowledge and understanding of Belarusians outside of urban centers on community advocacy and activism. Belarusian citizens living outside of major urban centers are often politically uninvolved, and have limited knowledge of ways to address local community concerns. Proposed program activities should target Belarusian youth and adults living outside of major urban areas and introduce concepts such as volunteerism, civic advocacy, and community self-help. Successful proposals will also provide citizens opportunities to use the skills they learn in local civic initiatives.
Eligibility-
- Be a U.S. non-profit organization meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c) (3) or a comparable organization headquartered internationally, or an international organization.
- Have demonstrated experience administering successful and preferably similar projects. DRL reserves the right to request additional background information on organizations that do not have previous experience administering federal grant awards. These applicants may be subject to limited funding on a pilot basis.
- Have existing, or the capacity to develop, active partnerships with in-country entities and relevant stakeholders including industry and non-governmental organizations.
- Organizations may form consortia and submit a combined proposal. However, one organization should be designated as the lead applicant.
