U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur, in collaboration with the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), is pleased to welcome proposals from NGO partners working in the area of refugee protection and assistance in Malaysia through its Julia Taft Refugee Fund.

This funding support is intended to meet one-time, low cost intervention in refugee protection and assistance and respond to critical gaps that have not been met by larger multilateral refugee programs. The fund is not intended for recurring programs and is not meant as an emergency fund.

Funding Information

Ceiling of Award Amount: $25,000

Eligibility Criteria

• Applicants must be a registered organization (e.g. NGO, community-based organization, faith-based organization).
• Consideration for support is given to projects that benefit both populations of concern and their host communities, with a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees or returnees.
• Local NGOs will be given priority. International NGOs may apply but must have a close partnership with a local NGO as the preference is to support reliable local NGOs to encourage capacity building for smaller, local partners.
