Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0017006
The Fiscal Transparency Innovation Fund (FTIF) Projects opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, led by the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB). It is designed to fund practical projects that help governments and civil society improve fiscal transparency, with a clear emphasis on making public financial information more complete, more trustworthy, and easier for the public to access and use. The program is centered on helping countries meet core fiscal transparency expectations that are tracked through the Department of State's annual Fiscal Transparency Report (FTR), and funding is limited to work in countries that are assessed in that report.
The main focus of the funding is on improving the quality and availability of key budget and fiscal data. That includes strengthening the completeness and reliability of budget documentation, ensuring that budget information is publicly available in a timely way, and improving the transparency of public debt obligations so citizens and oversight bodies can better understand what the government owes and under what terms. The opportunity also targets transparency in areas that frequently carry high corruption or accountability risks, including natural resource extraction licensing and tendering processes, as well as government procurement procedures. In practical terms, competitive proposals are likely to be those that can demonstrate how they will close specific transparency gaps, support sustainable reforms, and produce measurable improvements in the availability and credibility of fiscal information.
Eligibility is geared toward organizations and entities that can implement governance and transparency work internationally. The listed eligible applicants include international non-profit organizations and foreign public entities, indicating that both non-governmental implementers and certain government-affiliated institutions outside the United States may apply, as long as the proposed work aligns with the program goals and is implemented in an FTR-assessed country. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed under business and commerce, reflecting the program's emphasis on public financial management practices that affect economic governance, investment climate, and public accountability.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as DFOP0017006 under CFDA 19.662. The posting indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $740,009, meaning proposals should be structured to fit within that maximum funding level. The opportunity was created on November 8, 2024, and the original application deadline is January 13, 2025. Overall, this grant is aimed at targeted, high-impact fiscal transparency interventions that help countries make meaningful progress on the standards evaluated in the Fiscal Transparency Report, particularly where better disclosure and stronger processes can reduce risk, improve accountability, and build public trust in how public funds and public resources are managed.Apply for DFOP0017006
