Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0004188
The FY 2019 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Reception and Placement (R&P) Program (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0004188) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). Through this notice, PRM invites proposals from qualified nonprofit organizations to support the reception and initial resettlement of individuals admitted to the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). The application deadline listed in the notice is May 14, 2018, at 12:00 p.m. (noon) EDT, and the opportunity was created on March 15, 2018. The assistance listing associated with the program is CFDA 19.510.
The central purpose of the R&P Program is to promote the successful reception and placement of refugees arriving in the United States, focusing on helping them navigate their earliest transition period after admission. For the purposes of this announcement, PRM uses a specific legal definition of "refugee": an individual admitted under section 207(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, or an individual whose eligibility for resettlement assistance available to persons admitted under section 207(c) has been extended by statute. In practical terms, the funding supports the front-end resettlement infrastructure that meets refugees at arrival and helps connect them to essential early services through established provider networks.
PRM indicates its intent to make awards in the form of Cooperative Agreements (rather than simple grants), which typically means substantial federal involvement in program implementation and oversight, along with ongoing coordination between the award recipient and PRM. PRM plans to fund well-qualified nonprofit organizations that can provide a range of services through networks spanning multiple locations across the United States. The notice makes clear that organizations with a record of satisfactory performance under prior PRM agreements may be considered, but prior participation is not required. At the same time, participation in the FY 2018 R&P Program is explicitly not a prerequisite for FY 2019 participation, and it is also not a guarantee of continued funding, signaling that PRM intends to reassess applicants based on the stated selection criteria and demonstrated capabilities.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Beyond basic eligibility, PRM outlines key minimum qualifications applicants must meet to be considered. Applicants must be well-established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise and experience overseeing a network of affiliates that deliver reception and placement services or similar support for refugees or other migrant populations within the United States. They must have operated for at least three full years as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, must document that they have private financial resources available to contribute to the program (indicating an expectation of non-federal support or cost-sharing capacity), and must operate in multiple locations across the country. Taken together, these requirements emphasize national-scale operational capacity, proven service delivery, and the ability to manage distributed affiliate networks in a consistent, accountable way.
Several administrative details are included in the source data but are not fully specified in the excerpt. The award ceiling is listed as 0 and the expected number of awards is not provided, which suggests those values may not have been finalized in the posted summary or may be defined elsewhere in the full notice. The overall framing, however, is clear: PRM is seeking competent national nonprofit partners capable of coordinating multi-site reception and placement services for refugees admitted under USRAP, with an emphasis on demonstrated performance, organizational maturity, network management, and the presence of private resources to help sustain program delivery.Apply for SFOP0004188
