Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005047
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Counterterrorism, released a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005047) called "Countering Terrorist Financing in Pakistan" to support projects that help Pakistan more effectively stop the movement and use of funds connected to terrorism. The overall goal is to strengthen Pakistan's ability to implement a functioning anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CTF) system and to reduce the real-world threat posed by terrorist financing. The opportunity is aimed at practical, capacity-building work that improves how Pakistani institutions detect, disrupt, investigate, prosecute, and communicate efforts related to terrorist financing.
The program is organized around three main project areas, and applicants may propose work that covers one, two, or all three. First, proposals can focus on strengthening implementation of Pakistan's AML/CTF regulations, including the use of financial sanctions, stronger supervision of the financial sector, and improved detection and prevention of illicit cash transfers. This area is essentially about tightening the front-line defenses that identify suspicious activity in banks and other financial channels, ensuring rules are applied consistently, and improving the tools and procedures that stop dirty money or terrorism-linked funds from moving through formal and informal systems.
Second, the opportunity invites proposals that build the capacity of justice sector actors to prosecute terrorist financing cases. This means enhancing the ability of investigators, prosecutors, and other legal institutions to develop solid cases, handle financial evidence, apply relevant laws effectively, and move cases through the courts in a way that leads to credible outcomes. The emphasis is on making prosecutions more feasible and effective by improving specialized skills and processes needed for complex financial crime and terrorism-related cases.
Third, proposals can support the Government of Pakistan in communicating to the public what it is doing to counter terrorist financing. This component recognizes that public understanding and confidence matter in AML/CTF efforts, and it encourages projects that help the government explain its actions clearly, consistently, and credibly. The intent is to strengthen public messaging and transparency around steps being taken to counter terrorist financing, which can also reinforce deterrence and compliance.
Across all project areas, the funder signals a preference for proposals that include structured training and mentorship, not just one-off workshops. Applicants are expected to explain how training will be delivered, how mentorship will reinforce learned skills over time, and how the project will measure outcomes and impact. In other words, the program is looking for evidence that participants will actually apply what they learn and that improvements can be tracked through clear performance indicators. Proposals are also expected to include plans to increase coordination among federal and provincial authorities in Pakistan, reflecting the reality that terrorist financing risks cross jurisdictions and require consistent cooperation and information-sharing between levels of government.
The eligible applicants for this grant are U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a grant under CFDA 19.701 (law, justice, and legal services). The notice was created on May 9, 2018, with an original application closing date of June 15, 2018. The award ceiling is $2,962,500, and the agency anticipated making about three awards, indicating that the program was designed to fund a small number of relatively substantial projects rather than many small ones.Apply for SFOP0005047
