Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005283
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO), offered this grant opportunity to support a focused effort to counter violent extremism in the Philippines by strengthening local capacity and improving coordination among key community actors. CSO's broader mission is to help U.S. diplomats anticipate, prevent, and respond to conflicts that could threaten U.S. interests or national security. It does this by combining conflict analysis and data visualization with planning support, deployable civilian expertise, targeted programs, and diplomatic engagement. Within that larger mission set, this specific opportunity centers on preventing recruitment and radicalization to violence in selected Philippine locations where violent extremist organization (VEO) influence and mobilization are active concerns.
The program's core goal is practical and prevention-oriented: reduce the local drivers of violent extremism while increasing the resilience of communities in targeted areas. Rather than relying on a single type of intervention, the opportunity emphasizes a connected approach that brings together researchers, local community nongovernmental organizations, and Local Government Units (LGUs). The intended outcome is that these groups become better equipped to jointly research and analyze the local factors that contribute to violent extremism and then translate that understanding into community-level programming and coordinated action. In other words, it is designed to improve both the quality of evidence about what fuels violent extremism in specific contexts and the ability of local stakeholders to act on that evidence in a coherent way.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a closer working relationship with the U.S. government during implementation than a standard grant. The opportunity was categorized under community development, reflecting an emphasis on strengthening communities and local systems as a pathway to prevention. The funding opportunity number was SFOP0005283, and it anticipated making a single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $2,300,000. The opportunity was posted on July 17, 2018, with an original application deadline of August 16, 2018.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The administering agency was the Department of State, Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 19.121. Overall, the opportunity sought one lead implementing organization capable of building local research and program capacity, supporting locally grounded interventions, and improving collaboration among civil society and government actors to address the underlying conditions that can lead to recruitment and radicalization to violence in key areas of the Philippines.Apply for SFOP0005283
