Julia Taft Refugee Fund Project Based in Southern Poland: The U.S. Consulate General in Krakow, in collaboration with the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), welcomes proposals for projects via the Julia Taft Refugee Fund from potential national or local partners based in southern Poland to support one-time, low-cost interventions that address important gaps in protection and assistance for Ukrainian refugees living in Poland. An award will be made subject to the availability of appropriated funds and final selection by PRM staff in Washington, D.C. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Purpose of Grants: The U.S. Consulate General in Krakow invites proposals from potential partners based in southern Poland to support one-time, low-cost interventions that address important gaps in assistance for Ukrainian refugees. Activities may be organized in any geographic area of Poland, but the partner organization’s project coordinator must be based in southern Poland, in the regions of Podkarpacie, Małopolska, Świętokrzyskie, Śląskie, Opolskie, or Dolnośląskie, in order to ensure effective coordination with the U.S. Consulate General in Krakow. Priority Program Area: Providing support for children, parents, and/or schools in the Polish education system, focusing on the academic success and psychosocial (psychological, social, and emotional) well-being of Ukrainian children in that system. Participants and Audiences: Proposals should describe both the primary and secondary audiences for the program, including anticipated numbers to be reached. Primary audiences are those who will participate directly in the program, while secondary audiences are those who will be reached by the project’s primary audiences as a result of their participation. (For example, a workshop for educators would have teachers as the primary audience and the children in their classrooms as the secondary audience benefiting from the teachers’ professional development.) At least 50 percent of the project participants in (the primary audience for) the activities must be citizens of Ukraine living in Poland with temporary protected status. Applicants should be specific about the grade levels of learners and teachers they will target with their projects. The following types of programs are not eligible for funding: Programs relating to partisan political activity; Legal services and direct physical and mental health services provided to individuals (legal guidance and/or psychological, social or emotional development activities offered in a group setting may be supported by the grant); Construction programs; Programs that support specific religious activities; Fund-raising campaigns; Lobbying for specific legislation or programs; Academic or scientific research; Programs intended primarily for the growth or institutional development of the organization; and Individual travel to attend a conference and/or courses at any educational institution. This funding opportunity aims to support specific projects with objectives that can be achieved within a set timeframe. We will not accept applications that are aimed more broadly at supporting your organization’s usual or typical daily activities and operations. Those will be deemed technically ineligible and will not be considered for funding by the review committee. Authorizing legislation, type, and year of funding: Funding authority from the Migration and Refugee Assistance account to carry out section 2(b)(2) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962.
