The "FY 2025 General NGO Guidelines for Overseas Assistance" document by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) outlines the framework for NGOs seeking federal funding to support humanitarian programs worldwide. The guidelines detail application procedures, registration requirements with SAM and Grants.gov, funding priorities, and compliance monitoring.
Key highlights include an emphasis on plain language in proposals, updated templates for narratives and indicators, and a focus on specific populations of concern, such as refugees and internally displaced persons. The document also stresses the need for proposals to address gender-based violence, environmental impacts, and conflict sensitivity. Reporting and documentation requirements are specified to ensure accountability and oversight.
The guidelines assert the importance of collaboration among NGOs and international organizations, and each application must align with defined programmatic sectors and indicators. These measures aim to streamline the application process, enhance the accountability of aid distribution, and optimize outcomes for affected populations. Overall, the document serves as a comprehensive resource for NGOs to navigate federal funding opportunities effectively while advocating for humanitarian assistance.

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) has issued a Request for Concept Notes for FY 2025 aimed at advancing humanitarian protection initiatives for refugees, asylum seekers, and stateless persons globally. This funding opportunity invites organizations to submit concepts that strengthen capacities, promote advocacy, and share best practices. Proposed activities must deliver significant humanitarian impacts and cannot focus solely on individual countries.
Eligible applicants include U.S. NGOs, international organizations, and non-profits with or without 501(c)(3) status, with a funding range of $200,000 to $750,000 per year. Concept notes will be considered for various protection themes, such as inclusion of persons with disabilities, LGBTQI+ rights, and mental health support.
The application process includes a two-step submission, with selected organizations invited to develop full proposals after the initial review. Submissions must adhere to strict guidelines regarding format, organization, and content. The deadline for concept note submission is February 28, 2025. This initiative demonstrates PRM's commitment to fostering global protection efforts and providing sustainable solutions for vulnerable populations.
