Grant Snapshot

  • Typical awards land between $300K–$600K and expect sophisticated monitoring, evaluation, and compliance systems.
  • Successful applicants are usually large consortia or seasoned human-rights NGOs; proposals often exceed 50 pages.
  • Ason’s current team size and infrastructure would be stretched far beyond capacity, so FY2026 effort stays at zero.

Strategy Note

State Dept. DRL Religious Freedom Grants – Huge federal competitions ($500k+) for seasoned human-rights organizations. Requires consortium capacity, rigorous compliance, and monitoring frameworks. For a small team this is not an efficient investment in FY2026.
