Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 024 060096
The FY18 DRL Empowering Youth in India opportunity is a U.S. Department of State grant competition run through the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL). The program is framed around a community development approach and centers on a straightforward objective: helping young people in India build the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to act as agents of positive social change in their own communities. In practice, this kind of DRL funding typically supports projects that strengthen civic participation and local leadership among youth, encouraging them to identify community challenges and organize constructive, rights-respecting responses at the local level.
This funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a grant as the funding instrument. It is listed under CFDA number 19.345 and is associated with community development activities, signaling that proposals would be expected to show clear community-level benefits and practical pathways for youth-led impact. The funding opportunity was created on January 11, 2018, with an original closing date of January 12, 2018, indicating an extremely short application window in the published notice. The maximum possible award amount (award ceiling) was set at $650,000. The notice lists expected awards as 0, which can indicate that the agency had not specified a target number of awards at the time of posting, that awards were contingent on funding availability and proposal quality, or that the posting served a limited or time-sensitive procurement or administrative purpose.
Eligibility for this opportunity, as stated in the source data, was limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses. That eligibility restriction is notable because many DRL opportunities are often open to nonprofits, universities, and similar entities; here, the notice explicitly points to larger for-profit entities as eligible applicants. Any applicant would still generally be expected to demonstrate relevant experience, an ability to implement programming responsibly, and a credible plan for empowering youth in a way that produces measurable community outcomes, even though the short description provided does not list specific activities, target age ranges, geographic focus within India, or required program components.
Key identifiers for the opportunity include the title "FY18 DRL Empowering Youth in India" and the funding opportunity number DRLA DRLAQM 18 024 060096. The sponsoring agency is the Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, which typically funds programs aligned with democratic governance, human rights, and civic engagement. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a DRL-backed grant intended to support youth empowerment efforts in India that translate into tangible, community-level social improvement led by young people themselves, with up to $650,000 available per award under the terms described in the posting.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 024 060096
