Promote human rights for LGBTI community | 17 VNM 03

Opportunity Information: Apply for 17 VNM 03

The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Vietnam, offered a mandatory grant competition titled "Promote human rights for LGBTI community" (Funding Opportunity Number: 17 VNM 03). Launched on July 26, 2017, and originally due on August 23, 2017, the opportunity was designed to fund projects in Vietnam that strengthen human rights protections and social acceptance for LGBTI people, with a particular emphasis on transgender rights and family-level acceptance.

At its core, the grant aimed to support civil society efforts to coordinate around government recommendations and translate those recommendations into concrete policy implementation steps. In practical terms, this means backing nonprofit and community actors who can help organize stakeholders, align advocacy strategies, and work with or alongside relevant institutions so that policies promoting transgender rights move from paper commitments into real-world practice. Alongside policy-focused coordination, the opportunity also sought "innovative approaches" to increase acceptance of LGBTI individuals within Vietnamese families, signaling interest in creative, community-rooted interventions that address stigma and social pressures where they often begin: at home.

Funding was to be provided through either a cooperative agreement or a grant, and the activity areas were listed broadly under education, health, and humanities (with a cultural affairs connection reflected in the CFDA reference). The award ceiling was $25,000 per award, and the Mission anticipated making up to five awards, indicating relatively small, targeted project grants intended to pilot approaches, build coordination capacity, or support focused advocacy and community engagement efforts rather than large multi-year programs.

Eligible applicants included U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as individuals. The listing referenced CFDA number 19.040 and identified the sponsoring agency as the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Vietnam. Overall, the opportunity emphasized practical collaboration between civil society and policy processes, while also prioritizing culturally aware, family-centered strategies to improve day-to-day acceptance and safety for LGBTI people in Vietnam.
