This funding opportunity, issued as a Notice of Funding Opportunity, seeks organizations to design and implement projects that leverage early warning and early response systems to address root causes of conflict and build community resilience.

Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, including the clarity of problem analysis, feasibility of project activities, alignment with SMART objectives, strength of the logic model, and quality of the risk assessment categorized as high, medium, or low. Cost-effectiveness and budget justification using OMB cost categories are critical, with applications demonstrating cost-share commitments—either cash or in-kind contributions from non-U.S. sources—being more competitive. The budget must include detailed line-item data in Excel and a clear narrative, adhering to 2 CFR Part 200 requirements for personnel, travel, equipment over $10,000, and subrecipient oversight.

While no contract value is specified, awards will be made through federal assistance mechanisms, and no procurement-style contract line items or delivery terms apply. The place of performance will be determined by the applicant’s proposed project area within Sudan, and performance is subject to federal grant compliance standards rather than contract-specific inspection or acceptance protocols.

Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Education and Outreach Initiative
Solicitation # FR-6900-N-21-A
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program – Education and Outreach Initiative, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, aims to prevent and eliminate discriminatory housing practices by funding eligible organizations to conduct public education and outreach efforts. The initiative operates through two main components: the National Media Campaign, which focuses on centralized, nationwide media products and includes targeted efforts to boost participation in Annual Fair Housing Month, and the General Component, which supports localized, community-based programs across the country. Both components require strict oversight by HUD, which retains approval authority over all deliverables, work plans, and statements of work, and actively participates in their development and implementation. Funding is distributed through competitive grants and cooperative agreements, with the majority awarded as grants to regional and local entities. National-level efforts, however, are administered under cooperative agreements managed by HUD Headquarters due to their broader impact and the need for heightened federal oversight and departmental review. HUD conducts regular monitoring, requests quarterly progress reports, and maintains control over the content and delivery of all educational materials. The program is forecasted to be available for applications starting June 18, 2026, with inquiries directed to Katherine Vasilopoulos at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
