Dear partners,
The COVID-19 pandemic has unsettled our lives and societies. With a Global perspective, we understand that the Corona Virus will impact individuals, communities and countries in different ways. We stand with all first responders, medical , community and public health workers all over the world on the frontlines of the epidemic.
USAID has made a call for COVID-19 Funding Requests and Unsolicited Proposals, responding to the pandemic with decisive action in the United States and globally. The priorities in the COVID-19 response are to protect the safety, health and security of the global workforce, as well as ensuring the continuation of life-saving missions across the world. All partner countries will be supported in their response to COVID-19.
You are encouraged to continue monitoring grants.gov and beta.sam.gov for new grant and contract opportunities related to COVID-19.
Unsolicited proposals may be submitted to COVID19_Concepts@usaid.gov.
The Grants.gov website can also be used to search for forecasted grants. Watch this Youtube Video on Grants.gov Channel on how to do this and visit the Grants.gov Community Blog for more resources.
Preparation is the key to success!
Engage early, get your house in order, create new partnerships to maximize opportunities for organization to succeed.
“Faith-based and community organizations serve some of the most vulnerable populations in the world. They are often the first in and the last to leave, and uniquely qualified to identify and meet local needs. Many hold positions of special trust in local communities, playing a vital role in social support systems.”
