Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005741

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "DRL EAP Religious Freedom Solicitation 2: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines" under Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005741. The program is framed as a religious freedom solicitation focused on the East Asia and Pacific region, specifically targeting work connected to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. While the brief public listing does not spell out the full program goals or required activities, the title and administering bureau indicate that the core purpose is to support initiatives that advance international religious freedom and related human rights and democracy objectives in one or more of the named countries. The full requirements, priorities, and any country-specific focus areas were provided in an attached document referenced as "DRL EAP IRF NOFO 2," which is where applicants would find the detailed statement of program objectives, expected outcomes, monitoring and evaluation requirements, and any mandatory proposal components.

Funding was to be provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expected to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. In practice, that often translates into closer coordination with the agency on program design refinements, regular consultations, and possibly more structured reporting or approvals tied to key deliverables, although the exact level of involvement would be defined in the full solicitation document. The activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification deferred to the solicitation text, suggesting the work could span a range of program types rather than fitting neatly into a single predefined grants category. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.345, which corresponds to DRL programming.

The opportunity set an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award and anticipated making two awards, indicating a relatively competitive process with limited slots and the potential for sizable, multi-partner, or multi-year projects depending on what the notice allowed. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional details again deferred to the full solicitation, meaning the notice likely defined which types of organizations could apply (for example, NGOs, non-profits, educational institutions, or other qualified entities) and may have included restrictions or preferences relevant to DRL programming. The solicitation was created on April 11, 2019, with an original application deadline of May 28, 2019, giving prospective applicants a short window to prepare and submit a compliant proposal package consistent with the attached NOFO guidance.

In short, this was a DRL cooperative agreement competition aimed at supporting religious freedom-related programming in Indonesia, Malaysia, and/or the Philippines, with up to $1,000,000 available per award and an expectation of two total awards. The public summary functions mainly as a pointer to the full "DRL EAP IRF NOFO 2" document, which would contain the substance an applicant would need to understand the specific program priorities, allowable activities, evaluation criteria, budget rules, and submission instructions.
