U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is seeking applicant for two funding opportunities under the Citizenship and Assimilation Grant Program. USCIS offers up to $10 million in grants for citizenship preparation programs in communities worldwide.
Citizenship and Assimilation Grant Opportunities are open to organizations that prepare lawful permanent residents for naturalization and promote civic assimilation through increased knowledge of English, U.S. history, and civics.
Citizenship Instruction and Naturalization Application Services.
This grant opportunity will fund up to 36 organizations that offer both citizenship instruction and naturalization application services to lawful permanent residents.
Applications are due by Aug. 13, 2019.
The Refugee and Asylee Assimilation Program.
This grant opportunity will fund up to four organizations to provide individualized services to lawful permanent residents who entered the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program or were granted asylum. These services will help them to obtain the skills and knowledge required for successful citizenship and to foster a sense of belonging and attachment to the United States.
This grant strives to promote long-term civic assimilation of those lawful permanent residents who have identified naturalization as a goal, yet may need additional information, instruction and services to attain it.
Applications are due by Aug. 13, 2019.
All funded grant recipients must enroll in E-Verify as a regular employer within 30 days of receiving the award and remain as a participant in good standing with E-Verify throughout the entire period of grant performance.
Funded grant recipients will be required to verify all new hires at hiring locations performing work on a program or activity that is funded in whole or in part under the grant.
Award recepients will be announced next month. USCIS will take into account various program and organizational factors, including past grantee performance, when making final award decisions.
