ELIGILIBITY INFORMATION 1. Eligible Applicants The Program and Grants Office (PGO) encourages applications from locally registered civil society entities such as, national and local non-governmental organizations, associations, cooperatives, or groups with refugee or returnee programming experience.
The Taft Fund is intended for projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees or returned refugees.
Embassy is also interested in supporting projects that address issues related to statelessness, assistance to marginalized groups within refugee, returnee, and migrant populations using the Taft Fund.
Applicants are only allowed to submit one proposal per organization.
If more than one proposal is submitted from an organization, all proposals from that institution will be considered ineligible for funding.
In order to be eligible to receive an award, all organizations must have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number from Dun & Bradstreet, as well as a valid registration on www.sam.gov.
Please see Section F.3 for information on how to obtain these registrations.
Pease note that beginning April 4, 2022, the federal government will stop using the DUNS number to uniquely identify entities.
At that point, entities doing business with the federal government will use a Unique Entity Identifier created in SAM.gov.
This transition allows the government to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government.
Any entity (contractor, corporation, partnership, organization, or individual) wishing to do business with the federal government under a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based contract, or anyone applying for federal grants, cooperative agreements, or other forms of federal financial assistance through Grants.gov, must be registered in SAM.gov.
Current SAM.gov registrants have already been assigned their Unique Entity Identifier and can view it within SAM.gov; there is no further action required.
The Unique Entity Identifier is located below the DUNS Number on the entity registration record.
After April 4, 2022, entities registering in SAM.gov will no longer have to go to Dun & Bradstreet and acquire a DUNS number.
Please note that all applicants must have a valid and functional bank account, must have registered for them to be eligible to apply.
Applicants missing the above information will not be considered.
