Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 080
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Promoting Religious Freedom in Cuba" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 17 080) to support work focused on the legal and regulatory environment affecting religious practice in Cuba. The central purpose of the program is to fund analysis of Cuba's legal framework as it relates to how houses of worship are registered and recognized, and how the government regulates religious speech, religious assembly, and religious activities. In practical terms, proposals were expected to examine the rules on the books as well as how those rules are applied in real life, with an emphasis on identifying legal barriers, administrative requirements, and constraints that influence whether religious communities can operate openly and safely.
The opportunity was issued under the funding activity category of Law, Justice, and Legal Services, with an additional "Other" category referenced for clarification, signaling that the project could blend legal analysis with broader human-rights or civil-society objectives as long as it stayed anchored in the legal and regulatory issues described. The funding instrument type was a grant, and DRL anticipated making a single award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $500,000. This structure suggests an intent to support one primary implementer capable of carrying out a focused, comprehensive effort rather than distributing smaller awards across multiple organizations.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they were not institutions of higher education. This points to an expectation that civil society organizations, advocacy groups, legal assistance organizations, or research-focused nonprofits would be the most appropriate applicants, particularly those with the capability to conduct credible legal research, document regulatory practice, and present findings in a way that can inform policy, advocacy, or rights-protection strategies.
The notice was created on July 19, 2017, with an original closing date of August 6, 2017, indicating a relatively short application window typical of targeted human-rights programming. Overall, the grant opportunity was designed to generate detailed, actionable analysis of the Cuban legal landscape surrounding religious freedom, with particular attention to the mechanisms that control or restrict the establishment and operation of places of worship and the ways religious expression and community life are regulated.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 080
