Guidelines for Proposals Workshop Dates

Submitting a Proposal

If your organization would like to become a USAID disaster response partner, the Guidelines for Proposals are intended to assist organizations in the preparation of proposals for new awards and award modifications for submission to USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA). The Guidelines lay out considerations relevant to the proposal review and award process and outline the main components of an unsolicited proposal. The Guidelines also contain Sector Requirements (SRs) for each of the humanitarian sectors that USAID/OFDA funds. These guidelines should be used for all proposals.

If your organization would like to submit a proposal with the Office of Food for Peace (USAID/FFP), visit the Food Assistance Emergency Programs page for more information.

USAID’s Annual Program Statements (solicited proposals) can be found on www.grants.gov.
