DRL FY18/19 NEA Programs to Promote Religious Freedom

Middle East and North Africa Region DRL anticipates making 2-3 awards for amounts between $500,000 and $1,250,000. DRL's objective is to foster diverse, multi-ethnic, and multi-religious societies that respect the rights of all people. DRL will fund proposals that seek to disrupt cycles of intolerance, violence, and inter-communal distrust on the basis of religion or belief. Applications should focus on 1 or 2 countries. The justifications for both country selection and appropriateness for any proposed intervention must be comprehensive while avoiding extensive presentation of well-known background information, especially when multiple countries are included in a proposal.
