Opportunity Information: Apply for OFOP0001673
PD-TLV-2025-001, Rapid-Response Peacebuilding Grants in Israel (Funding Opportunity Number OFOP0001673) is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Mission to Israel. It is designed as a rapid-response funding mechanism to address the sharp rise in fear, anger, resentment, and distrust between Jewish and Arab communities that has intensified during the ongoing Gaza war. The opportunity is framed around the reality of heightened hostility and polarization, with the goal of backing practical, locally grounded peacebuilding actions that can reduce the risk of violence now while also strengthening the foundations for longer-term coexistence.
The core purpose of the grants is to support interventions that prevent escalation and rebuild channels of communication and cooperation across communities. The call emphasizes work in mixed communities where tensions can quickly turn into confrontation, as well as programs that help youth and educators communicate in more constructive and productive ways. It also prioritizes community-based initiatives that create space for dialogue and mutual understanding, efforts to counter violent or inflammatory messaging that can fuel unrest, and activities that encourage post-conflict planning focused on a nonviolent, safe, and just path forward for all communities. The priority region is Israel, along with other areas affected by the current Gaza war, signaling that proposals should be tightly connected to war-related impacts and community tensions stemming from the conflict.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award. The program anticipates making up to 8 awards, indicating a competitive process with a limited number of funded projects. The opportunity was created on 2024-12-10, and the original application closing date is 2025-02-11, so applicants would need to be prepared to move quickly and present a clear, actionable plan that fits the rapid-response intent.
Eligibility, as listed, is for nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. In practice, this points to support for certain non-U.S. nonprofit entities or other nonprofit structures that meet the program requirements, rather than U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. The opportunity is categorized under “Other” for the funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.040, which corresponds to U.S. Department of State public diplomacy-related assistance. Overall, the program is aimed at quickly funding credible local actors who can defuse tensions, reduce the chances of communal violence, and build practical pathways for dialogue and recovery in communities affected by the war.Apply for OFOP0001673
