Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0001443
The FY 2018 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Reception and Placement (R and P) Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It seeks proposals from qualified nonprofit organizations to carry out core reception and placement support for people admitted to the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Funding would be provided through Cooperative Agreements, which generally means PRM expects an ongoing, collaborative relationship with awardees, including federal involvement in program oversight and implementation beyond what is typical in a standard grant.
The central purpose of the R and P Program is to promote successful initial resettlement by ensuring refugees receive organized, timely support upon arrival and during the earliest phase of integration into U.S. communities. The opportunity uses the statutory definition of "refugee" tied to section 207(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), including individuals whose eligibility for resettlement assistance has been extended by statute. In practical terms, the program is aimed at coordinating essential start-up services that help newly arrived refugees stabilize quickly, connect to local systems, and begin rebuilding their lives in the United States.
PRM indicates it intends to fund well-qualified nonprofit organizations that can deliver a range of required services through networks spanning multiple locations across the country. The emphasis on multi-site networks signals that the program is designed for organizations with national or near-national reach, or with an established affiliate structure capable of receiving and serving refugees in more than one community. While prior participation in the FY 2017 R and P Program may be considered in terms of performance history, it is explicitly not required for eligibility and does not guarantee selection for FY 2018, underscoring that PRM will make awards based on the current competition and stated selection criteria.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). To be considered, applicants must be well-established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise and experience overseeing an affiliate network delivering reception and placement services or comparable services for refugees or other migrant populations. Applicants must have maintained 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for at least three full years, must be able to document private financial resources that can help support the program (indicating an expectation of cost-sharing or supplementation beyond federal funds), and must operate multiple service locations across the United States. These requirements collectively prioritize organizational maturity, operational scale, and financial capacity, reflecting the high-stakes, time-sensitive nature of initial refugee reception work.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number SFOP0001443, CFDA number 19.510, and an application deadline of May 22, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. EDT for FY 2018 consideration. The posting lists an award ceiling of 0 and expected awards of 0 in the source data, which typically indicates the notice does not specify a fixed maximum award amount or a set number of awards in the public synopsis, rather than implying that no funding will be made available. The opportunity was created on March 21, 2017, and is administered by PRM under the Department of State.Apply for SFOP0001443
