💡 GrantQuick Tip

TIP Office grants are rolling — you can apply anytime. They prioritize programs in countries rated Tier 2 Watch List or Tier 3 in the annual TIP Report. Check the latest report, identify a Tier 2WL/3 country where you have operations, and propose programming that directly addresses the deficiencies noted in that country's narrative. TIP Office likes proposals that work with government (building their capacity) rather than working around them.

Competitiveness: Moderate — rolling competition with no fixed number of awards. Strong organizations with in-country presence and government relationships receive funding regularly.

What This Grant Funds

The TIP Office invites applications for projects that aim to combat human trafficking following the legislative framework laid out in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, and subsequent reauthorizations, to prosecute traffickers, protect victims, and prevent trafficking. Projects should address human trafficking challenges, respond to the priorities articulated in the National Security Strategy, executive orders, the FY 2026-2030 State Department Agency Strategy, and country-specific recommendations in the annual Trafficking in Persons Report, and advance America First Foreign Policy priorities.
