Opportunity Information: Apply for 20 PHL NOFO MTM
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to the Philippines, offered a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 20 PHL NOFO MTM) to support the organization of a regional conference in the Philippines focused on protecting marine resources and fisheries in Southeast Asia. The core purpose of the program was to bring together leading voices from the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries for a focused, in-person convening that examines marine sustainability, marine resource management, and stronger maritime cooperation across Southeast Asian waters. The conference was expected to create a structured, comprehensive dialogue about the most pressing regional maritime issues, including emerging threats to fisheries and marine ecosystems, and the broader challenges of managing and safeguarding shared maritime spaces.
A central theme of the opportunity was cross-sector collaboration. Proposals were expected to go beyond technical discussions and emphasize practical ways that government agencies, law enforcement entities, and civil society organizations can coordinate and work together across national boundaries. In other words, the conference design needed to highlight how regional stakeholders can jointly respond to challenges such as illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing; environmental degradation; resource competition; and enforcement or governance gaps that affect marine resources. The intent was to foster cooperation that is both regional in scope and actionable in outcomes, using the conference as a platform to share experiences, strengthen networks, and identify opportunities for coordinated policy, enforcement, and community-based solutions.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government anticipated an active partnership role during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant. The program listed an award ceiling of $150,000 and anticipated making one award. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status in the United States (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on November 12, 2019, with an original application deadline of December 31, 2019.Apply for 20 PHL NOFO MTM
