Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005808
The Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) released a discretionary funding opportunity in 2019 to support its Program to End Modern Slavery (PEMS). The opportunity was posted as an open competition, meaning eligible organizations could submit proposals to carry out activities aligned with the TIP Office mission of combating human trafficking and modern slavery. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a closer working relationship between the recipient and the U.S. government than a standard grant, often involving substantial programmatic involvement or coordination by the agency during implementation.
This opportunity is identified by the title "2019 The TIP Office Notification of Funding Opportunity for Program to End Modern Slavery (PEMS)" and the funding opportunity number SFOP0005808. It falls under the broader State Department foreign assistance and anti-trafficking portfolio and is associated with CFDA number 19.019. While the activity category is listed as "Other," it is tied directly to anti-trafficking and modern slavery programming rather than a narrow sector label, reflecting that PEMS work can span multiple domains such as protection, prevention, prosecution support, data and evidence-building, and cross-sector partnerships.
The notice was created on May 7, 2019, with an original application closing date of June 21, 2019. The stated award ceiling is $25,000,000, indicating that individual awards could be as large as that amount, depending on the final scope and budget approved by the TIP Office. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which is sometimes used in federal postings when the agency does not specify a set number of awards in advance, expects to make a variable number of awards depending on proposal quality and available funds, or has not finalized the award plan at the time of posting.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the notice indicating that applicants should consult the additional eligibility language in the full announcement for specifics. In practice, this category often includes a range of non-federal entities such as nonprofits, NGOs, educational institutions, and potentially for-profit organizations or international partners, depending on the program rules and statutory authority. Overall, the core purpose of the opportunity is to fund work under PEMS that advances efforts to end modern slavery through impactful, scalable interventions and coordinated implementation with the TIP Office under a cooperative agreement structure.Apply for SFOP0005808
