Opportunity Information: Apply for 17 PHL NOFO 02
The Global Equality Fund: Strengthening Legal Protection for LGBTI Persons grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 17 PHL NOFO 02) is a discretionary U.S. government funding announcement intended to support work that improves legal protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people. The opportunity is framed as an Annual Program Statement, meaning it not only invites applications for funding but also lays out the funder s priorities, the strategic themes they want projects to align with, and the basic process applicants must follow to request support. The announcement is associated with the U.S. Embassy Manila Political Section (POL) under the U.S. Department of State, and it is also listed with USAID Philippines USAID-Manila as the agency name in the source data.
This opportunity uses a grant as the funding instrument, with an award ceiling of 25,000 dollars. Only one award was expected, suggesting a single project or lead organization would likely be selected to carry out the proposed activities within the available budget. The funding activity category is listed as Other, which typically indicates the project focus does not neatly fit into a standard sector label and that the detailed description in the full notice would clarify what types of activities are prioritized. The CFDA number attached to the opportunity is 19.345, which is used for federal assistance tracking and reporting.
Eligibility is described broadly as Others, with a note that additional eligibility information would be provided in the full announcement. In practice, that phrasing often signals that the funder may accept proposals from a range of entity types beyond the most common categories, such as certain non governmental organizations, civil society groups, community based organizations, or other qualified institutions, depending on the specific eligibility language contained in the complete notice. Because the summary data does not spell out the exact eligible entity types, applicants would need to consult the full eligibility section to confirm whether they qualify and what documentation or registrations may be required.
Timing details show the opportunity was created on July 6, 2017, and the original application deadline was July 28, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. That short window indicates it was likely aimed at organizations that were already positioned to submit a proposal quickly, possibly with prior experience in similar U.S. government grant application formats and compliance requirements.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a small, targeted grant solicitation focused on strengthening legal protection for LGBTI persons in the Philippines context, administered through U.S. diplomatic channels in Manila and connected to the Global Equality Fund. Applicants would be expected to design a project that clearly supports legal protection goals, fits within the strategic themes set out in the Annual Program Statement, and can be delivered within a maximum budget of 25,000 dollars, with the understanding that only one award was planned.Apply for 17 PHL NOFO 02
