Description

The U.S. Department of State’s Julia Taft Fund for Refugees responds to gaps in refugee assistance by issuing grants to local NGOs for quick impact projects. The intent of this initiative is to provide Ambassadors with the means to respond to critical gaps that have not been addressed in larger multilateral refugee programs. The funds are meant to support projects that assist refugees or refugee returnees. The target beneficiary base should consist of at least 50 percent refugees or returned refugees Requests to provide funding to populations other than refugees/returnees are discouraged, but exceptions can be made in some regions with "populations of concern" to PRM, such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), vulnerable migrants, and stateless persons. Consideration for support is also given to projects that benefit both populations of concern and their host communities. The fund is not meant as an emergency fund. Examples of activities that can be funded under this program include vocational training programs for refugees, income-generating activities, agricultural support to returnee families. ·
