Foreign Disaster Assistance
USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) provides non-food humanitarian
assistance and coordinates the U.S. Government response to natural and manmade
disasters in foreign countries. USAID/OFDA provides humanitarian assistance
largely through grants to Private Voluntary Organizations, Non-Governmental
Organizations, and International Organizations. For more information on the proposal
review and award process, please go to OFDA's Guidelines for Proposals and
Reporting, found on the website below. In addition to accepting unsolicited proposals
after a disaster is declared, OFDA posts Annual Program Statements (APS) to which
an organization can apply for funding at www.fedgrants.gov. An APS generates competition
for new awards in areas where USAID/OFDA wants to support a variety of
approaches to meet its mandate of saving lives, alleviating suffering, and reducing the
economic impact of disasters.
