Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0013457
The FY 2025 PRM Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Resettlement Support Centers (RSCs) is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It will fund organizations to operate seven separate regional Resettlement Support Centers that support U.S. refugee resettlement processing and related services. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means PRM expects ongoing coordination and substantial involvement in key elements of implementation and oversight rather than a hands-off grant arrangement.
This NOFO is explicitly tied to PRM's General NGO Guidelines, which explain PRM priorities and its broader NGO funding strategy. Applicants are expected to use both documents when preparing proposals, but the NOFO makes clear that any requirements stated in this announcement override anything in the general guidelines. PRM is signaling that compliance is not optional: proposals that do not align with the NOFO requirements (and PRM priorities as articulated across both documents) will not be considered. In practice, that means applicants need to show not only technical capacity to run an RSC, but also a clear understanding of PRM policy expectations, operational standards, reporting, and coordination requirements.
PRM plans to make one award for each of the following RSCs and locations: RSC Africa (Nairobi, Kenya), RSC Asia (Bangkok, Thailand), RSC Austria (Vienna, Austria), RSC Eurasia (Warsaw, Poland), RSC Latin America (San Salvador, El Salvador), RSC MENA (Amman, Jordan), and RSC TuME (Istanbul, Turkiye). Each award will initially cover a 12-month period of performance beginning October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, contingent on the availability of funds. PRM indicates that it will provide full financial support to the selected organization based on the proposal submitted under this competition, meaning the approved application budget and program plan will drive the funded scope. Each of the seven awards may be extended for up to two additional fiscal years, potentially running through September 30, 2027, if PRM exercises those options and funds remain available.
The NOFO anticipates seven total awards (one per region). The published award ceiling for the opportunity is $200,000,000, reflecting the potential maximum funding level across the awards under this announcement. The opportunity is listed under CFDA (now often referred to as ALN) 19.018, and the activity category is labeled "Other," which is common for operational support functions like resettlement processing infrastructure rather than a single-sector humanitarian program (such as health or WASH).
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations. U.S.-based NGOs must have 501(c)(3) status (and be able to document their nonprofit tax status), and overseas-based NGOs without 501(c)(3) status must be able to document legal registration in their country of domicile. International organizations are also listed as eligible, but the announcement draws a sharp procedural boundary for multilateral entities: international multilateral organizations such as UN agencies are instructed not to submit through Grants.gov in response to this NOFO. Instead, multilaterals seeking PRM funding for work relevant to the announcement are directed to contact the PRM point of contact listed in the NOFO before the closing date, which implies a different engagement and funding pathway for those entities.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DFOP0013457, with an original closing date of June 9, 2024, and a creation/posting date of April 9, 2024. The agency is the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. Overall, the opportunity is designed to competitively select implementing partners capable of running large, regionally based RSC operations under PRM oversight, with the potential for multi-year continuity through extensions if performance and funding allow.Apply for DFOP0013457
