Julia Taft Fund Grants in Botswana

The U.S. Embassy Gaborone, under the auspices of the Office of the Regional Refugee Coordinator, is pleased to announce the availability of a funding opportunity through the Julia Taft Fund for Refugees.

The Julia Taft Fund for Refugees is an initiative by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) to respond to critical unmet needs of refugees.

Created in 2000, the Julia Taft Fund for Refugees supports projects that fill gaps in refugee services not already being addressed by other organizations and that can be filled locally.

Successful projects are those that are not being addressed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), other international organizations, or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are already receiving U.S. government funding.

What types of projects in Botswana have been funded through the Julia Taft Fund for Refugees in the past

Past grant recipients have implemented projects focused on establishing job training/vocational training, establishing youth councils, human rights education, and HIV/AIDS education and advocacy.

Funding Information

Award Ceiling: $25,000

Note that all proposals are required to have at least 50% of the beneficiaries be refugees.

The 12-month project performance period will begin in/around July.

Who is eligible to apply
