Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006950
The Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) released a discretionary funding opportunity in 2020 to support the Program to End Modern Slavery (PEMS). This notice announces an open competition for organizations seeking to carry out work that advances efforts to end modern slavery and human trafficking. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal government expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on planning, monitoring progress, and coordinating implementation details rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement.
This funding opportunity is identified as "2020 The TIP Office Notification of Funding Opportunity for Program to End Modern Slavery (PEMS)" with the funding opportunity number SFOP0006950. It was published (creation date) on May 15, 2020, and the original application deadline was June 29, 2020. The program is associated with CFDA number 19.019, which corresponds to Department of State assistance activities related to anti-trafficking initiatives. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the work does not fall neatly into a single standard category and that applicants should rely on the full notice for clarification on the specific program focus and allowable activities.
In terms of award size and scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $15,000,000, signaling the potential for a large, high-impact project or set of projects. The TIP Office anticipated making two awards under this competition, which suggests a selective process aimed at funding a small number of major efforts rather than many smaller grants. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement and the ceiling is high, applicants would generally be expected to demonstrate strong organizational capacity, credible partnerships, robust financial and program management systems, and a clear plan for achieving measurable results.
Eligibility is broadly presented as "Others," with additional eligibility details meant to be clarified in the full announcement text. In practice, language like this often indicates that eligibility may include a range of entity types (for example, nonprofit organizations, institutions, or other qualified organizations), but the exact requirements, restrictions, or preferences are determined by the complete notice. Anyone evaluating fit or preparing an application would need to confirm the eligible applicant categories, any geographic or thematic priorities, and any special requirements set by the TIP Office for the PEMS program.
Overall, this opportunity represents a significant federal investment in initiatives intended to reduce or eliminate modern slavery and trafficking by supporting PEMS through a competitively awarded cooperative agreement process. The combination of a high funding ceiling, a small expected number of awards, and the cooperative agreement mechanism points to an emphasis on comprehensive, coordinated programming with active involvement from the TIP Office to maximize impact and accountability.Apply for SFOP0006950
