DRL FY22: Global Equality Fund LGBTQI+ Programs

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for projects that have the goal to provide lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) communities with the tools to (1) empower local movements and communities; (2) prevent, mitigate, and recover from violence, discrimination, stigma, and human rights abuses; (3) promote full social inclusion; or (4) address critical issues of justice.  Program proposals may address communities globally or may be focused on communities in individual countries, across multiple countries, within regions, or across multiple regions. We intend for projects to be led by, or have strong support from and participation by, LGBTQI+ organizations and communities.
