Opportunity Information: Apply for H NOFO 21 102
The grant opportunity titled "Training workshops for girls and young women to counter online predators" (Funding Opportunity Number: H NOFO 21 102) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to India. It supports a community development and education focused project designed to help adolescent girls and young women build practical skills to protect themselves online. The core purpose is to reduce vulnerabilities linked to cyber stalking and online predation, and in turn help prevent trafficking and sexual exploitation by promoting safer digital habits and awareness.
The project centers on delivering structured, in-person style training workshops over a one-year period for girls and college-going young women ages 15 to 21. The plan targets two geographic groupings. First, it aims to train a total of 375 participants across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha, specifically including both rural and urban communities. This portion of the project is to be carried out through 15 workshops, with five workshops in each of the three states, spread across the year. Second, it aims to train an additional 125 participants in the Delhi National Capital Region, focused on urban girls and college-going women in the same 15 to 21 age range. This Delhi NCR component is to be delivered through five workshops over the same one-year timeframe. In total, the opportunity outlines 20 workshops reaching 500 young participants.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where relevant). The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.040. The anticipated scale is relatively small and competitive: the notice lists an award ceiling of $70,000 and expects to make one award, meaning a single selected organization would likely implement the full set of activities across the targeted states and Delhi NCR.
Key dates in the listing indicate the opportunity was created on March 5, 2021, with an original closing date of May 4, 2021. Overall, the grant is structured around a clear deliverables-based model: deliver a defined number of workshops in specified locations, reach a defined number of participants in a specific age group, and equip those participants with concrete tools and behaviors aimed at countering online predators and improving digital safety to help reduce risks of exploitation.Apply for H NOFO 21 102
