Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008467
The grant opportunity titled "DRL FY21 IRF: Advocacy to Preserve Religious and Cultural Heritage in the Trans-Sahel Region" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008467) was issued by the U.S. Department of State through the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a grant instrument, and it sits under CFDA 19.345, which is the Department of State program area commonly associated with democracy, human rights, and labor-related foreign assistance. The overarching focus of the competition is support for religious freedom in the Trans-Sahel region, specifically through efforts connected to advocacy and the preservation of religious and cultural heritage.
In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around projects that advance religious freedom by protecting, preserving, and promoting the continued existence and integrity of religious and cultural heritage in the Trans-Sahel. While the source text is brief, the title and stated purpose point to initiatives that may include advocacy campaigns, coalition-building, public awareness activities, documentation of threats or damage to heritage, community engagement to reduce tensions, and other programming intended to strengthen respect for religious diversity and the rights of religious communities. The emphasis on "advocacy" suggests the funding is meant to support efforts that influence public policy, institutional practices, or societal norms in ways that reduce pressure on religious communities and protect sites, traditions, and cultural expressions that are tied to religious identity.
The opportunity was created on December 20, 2021, and originally closed on February 21, 2022, meaning it was a time-limited open competition for eligible organizations to submit proposals. The award ceiling listed for the competition is $740,740, indicating the maximum amount that could be awarded under a single grant (or under the opportunity, depending on the agency's final award decisions). The listing shows "Expected Awards: 0," which typically means the number of awards was not specified in the posted data or had not been set at the time of posting, rather than confirming that no awards would be made.
Eligibility is summarized in the listing as "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility information in the full announcement. In many DRL competitions, "Others" can encompass a range of entities such as non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, and sometimes for-profit entities depending on the program rules, but the definitive requirements would be in the full notice of funding opportunity. Overall, the posting describes a DRL grant competition designed to fund projects that contribute to safeguarding religious freedom in the Trans-Sahel by elevating and defending religious and cultural heritage through advocacy-oriented programming.Apply for SFOP0008467
