U.S. Embassy Announces Julia Taft Fund for Refugees 2009
March 6, 2009
The U.S. Embassy in Nassau announces the opening of the solicitation for the Julia Taft Fund for Refugees Grant for 2009. The grant is intended primarily for refugees or other populations of concern, such as vulnerable migrants and stateless persons. It is intended to meet gaps in ongoing programs that can be addressed locally for under $20,000 and are not already being addressed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or other organizations already receiving U.S. Government funding. We would welcome applications from local NGOs which provide assistance programs to refugees, vulnerable migrants, and stateless persons. Please click here for U.S. Embassy Julia Taft Fund for Refugees 2009 Application Instructions.

All proposals must be submitted electronically, though they may also be submitted in hardcopy. For further information or to submit an application, please contact GrantNassau@state.gov.
