Opportunity Information: Apply for INL22GR0050 WHPGUATE PALSUPPORT 05122022
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity to support Guatemala's National Civilian Police (Policia Nacional Civil, or PNC) in launching and implementing a Police Athletic League (PAL) program. The core idea is to use structured sports and youth engagement activities as a community outreach tool, particularly in places where the police have limited presence and where young people are more exposed to violence, gang recruitment, and related risks. The project is framed as a law enforcement and community-based prevention effort, with the PAL model serving as a bridge between the police and the communities they serve.
The target group for the program is at-risk youth in Guatemala between the ages of 7 and 18. INL is specifically interested in reaching youth living in communities considered high risk for violence and gang activity, with an emphasis on rural areas where PNC coverage and regular community policing contact may be low. In practice, this means the grant is aimed at organizations that can help the PNC deliver consistent, well-organized athletic and youth development programming in harder-to-reach locations, using sports as an entry point for mentorship, positive relationships, and pro-social activities.
This opportunity is open to both U.S.-based and foreign-based nonprofit/non-governmental organizations. However, applicants must meet two key eligibility expectations tied to regional and operational experience. First, organizations need to demonstrate prior experience implementing similar programs or projects in Central America, which signals that INL is looking for partners who understand the local context, youth risk factors, and the practical realities of operating in the region. Second, applicants must demonstrate experience working with security forces in Central America, reflecting the fact that the project is designed to be implemented in coordination with the PNC and likely requires careful handling of partnership dynamics, training, and operational planning.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the grant is listed under Funding Opportunity Number INL22GR0050 WHPGUATE PALSUPPORT 05122022, with an activity category aligned to Law, Justice, and Legal Services (CFDA 19.705). The award ceiling is $180,000. The opportunity was created on May 12, 2022, and the original application closing date was August 2, 2022. While the notice does not specify the exact number of awards in the provided text, it indicates an expected awards field without a stated quantity, suggesting applicants should be prepared for a competitive selection process and should not assume multiple awards will be made.
Overall, this grant is essentially asking for an organization that can handle the on-the-ground implementation and logistical support needed to help the PNC run a PAL program in Guatemala. That typically implies planning and coordination, managing equipment and activity logistics, supporting program rollout in rural communities, and ensuring the model is delivered safely and consistently in partnership with police personnel. The emphasis on both youth vulnerability and rural low-police-presence communities shows the program is intended to serve as a prevention and trust-building strategy as much as it is an athletic initiative.Apply for INL22GR0050 WHPGUATE PALSUPPORT 05122022
