Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0010150
The S/GWI FY23 NOFO: Global TFGBV Rapid Response Fund (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0010150) is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity issued by the Office of Global Womens Issues under CFDA 19.801. It is a discretionary award and will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient should expect substantial involvement from the U.S. government during program design and implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity was created on 2024-01-02 and originally closed on 2024-03-05.
The purpose of the program is to establish and operate a global rapid response mechanism that can deliver fast, flexible support to women politicians, political candidates, and civil society leaders facing extreme forms of, or credible threats of, technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). In practical terms, the fund is intended to help protect and sustain women leaders and women in public life when they are targeted through online abuse, harassment, intimidation, doxxing, non-consensual distribution of intimate imagery, coordinated disinformation, hacking, stalking enabled by digital tools, and other tech-enabled tactics that can undermine their safety, participation, reputation, and ability to lead. The emphasis on rapid and flexible response signals that the program is meant to move quickly, tailor assistance to real-time needs, and adapt to varied contexts across different countries and political environments.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. The Department of State anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $1,975,308. Because only a single award is expected, the selected organization will likely serve as the central implementer responsible for setting up the fund structure, developing clear processes for intake and decision-making, and ensuring responsive support can be delivered to eligible women leaders globally, potentially through partnerships, subawards, or coordinated service providers where appropriate.
Overall, this opportunity funds a targeted global initiative focused on countering and responding to high-risk TFGBV incidents affecting women in political and civic leadership roles. The project is designed to provide timely, practical assistance in urgent situations rather than only producing research or long-term advocacy, with the broader aim of helping women remain safe and able to participate fully and visibly in political and public life despite technology-enabled attacks.Apply for SFOP0010150
