The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is offering the Julia Taft Refugee Fund grant. This initiative supports one-time, low-cost interventions designed to address critical gaps in protection and assistance for refugees. Established in 2000, this grant empowers U.S. Embassies, such as the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa, to respond to humanitarian needs that major international organizations may not cover, by channeling support through local and national humanitarian organizations. This grant is for local and national humanitarian organizations operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to carry out projects that provide assistance to refugees, refugee returnees, or focus on persons at risk of statelessness or stateless persons.
