The U.S. Mission in Brazil, in collaboration with the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), is pleased to welcome proposals via the Julia Taft Refugee Fund from potential NGO partners working in the area of refugee protection and assistance in Brazil.

This support is meant to meet one-time, low-cost gaps in refugee protection and assistance and to respond to urgent needs that have not been addressed by larger multilateral refugee programs. Funding for proposals submitted in response to this funding notice is not guaranteed and will be based on availability of funding.
