US Govt Grants| 2011 Funding Opportunity| NGOs in Kenya and Yemen
Submission Deadline: November 23rd 2010
Proposed Program Start date: January 1 – March 1, 2011
Duration of Action: not more than 12 months
Funding amounts:
In the range of $100,000 to $2,000,000; any submissions over this amount will automatically be disqualified.
Programs will benefit refugees in Kenya and Yemen . While PRM (Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration) encourages activities that include the local host population, NGOs should concentrate on care/maintenance activities for refugees. At least 50% of beneficiaries must be refugees.
Proposals for Kenya may focus on protection, health (including support for disabled persons), water, sanitation, shelter, community services, psychosocial support, prevention of and response to gender-based violence, education, and livelihoods development (including vocational education) in a camp environment. Please note there will be no separate call for GBV programs for FY 2011.
For Yemen , only programs that support urban refugees in Sana’a focused on education, livelihoods support, and community services will be considered.
Organizations not registered with Grants.gov should register well in advance of the November 23 deadline as it can take up to two weeks to finalize registration (sometimes longer for non-U.S.-based NGOs to get the required registration numbers). To register with Grants.gov, organizations must first receive a DUNS number and register with the Central Contract Registry (CCR) which can take weeks and sometimes months. See “Applicant FAQs” section on Grants.gov

2011 Annual International Sophie Prize Award of $ 100,000 (Individuals and Orgs) working in Environment and Development
Deadline Nov 1 2010
Nomination Guidelines
Eligible voluntary organisations, institutions and individuals worldwide, with knowledge or interest in environment and/or sustainable development are welcome to nominate candidates for the Sophie Prize.
Candidate's nominated by them selves or by their staff or by honorary officers will not be taken into consideration.
Annual deadline for nomination is November 1st.
WHO CAN BE NOMINATED
The Sophie Prize will be awarded to an individual or an organisation that in a pioneering or a particularly creative way, has pointed to alternatives to the present development and/or put such alternatives into practice.
- What kind of change of consciousness is needed?
- What is sustainable wisdom?
- What qualities of life are the most important?
- What important alternative measures must be implemented now?
- What kind of mobilisation of people is needed in the “global village”?
The recipient of The Sophie Prize will have sought a challenging answer to one or several of the questions above and thus contributed to setting them on the international agenda. Concerning fair distribution of resources and global environment and development issues, we will distinguish between what is (seen to be) possible to achieve in the short run and what is truly necessary in the long run. The Sophie Prize will honour efforts to promote changes in the world that are necessary in a long-term perspective.
