Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009915
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES), Office of Environmental Quality (ENV), released a discretionary grant funding opportunity called "Reducing Mercury Use in Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining: Indonesia and Philippines" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009915). The program is focused on environmental and public health outcomes, specifically targeting the widespread use of mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) activities in Indonesia and/or the Philippines. The central aim is to support practical, on-the-ground efforts that measurably reduce mercury use in this sector, which is a major source of mercury pollution and a significant risk to miners, nearby communities, and ecosystems.
The opportunity is structured as a grant, with a maximum (ceiling) award amount of $400,000 and an expectation of making one award. That combination suggests a single, relatively substantial project rather than multiple small projects, and it likely favors proposals that can demonstrate a clear theory of change, credible partnerships in-country, and a plan for results within a defined project period. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 19.017, which is associated with Department of State assistance programs.
Applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice under "Additional Information on Eligibility." In practice, that phrasing usually indicates that the competition is not limited only to a narrow category like state or local governments, and may be open to a range of organizations such as non-profits, NGOs, academic institutions, or other qualified entities, depending on the specific eligibility language in the full announcement.
In terms of timing and basic administrative details, the opportunity was created on June 21, 2023, with an original application closing date of August 7, 2023. The implementing agency is the Department of State, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs. The program’s geographic focus is explicitly Indonesia and/or the Philippines, meaning proposals could target one country or potentially cover both, as long as the approach remains realistic and aligned with the funding level and expected scope.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to fund a targeted intervention that helps reduce reliance on mercury in ASGM in Indonesia and/or the Philippines, supporting environmental quality and human health objectives through a single award of up to $400,000 under a Department of State-led environmental assistance program.Apply for SFOP0009915
