ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION To be eligible for funding under this APS, applications must propose people-to-people programs as described in Section A.1 above. Potential partners include but are not necessarily limited to: private voluntary organizations, foundations, colleges and universities, civic groups, faith-based and community institutions, international organizations, private businesses and associations, regional organizations, philanthropic organizations, and advocacy groups. For-profit applicants should note that USAID policy prohibits the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements. Forgone profit does not qualify as cost-sharing or leveraging. USAID encourages applications from potential new partners. I. Types and Nationalities of NGOs 1. U.S. and Non-U.S. Non-Profit Organizations Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. private non-profit organizations may apply for USAID funding under this APS. Foreign government-owned parastatal organizations from countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible. 2. U.S. and Non-U.S. For-Profit Organizations Potential for-profit applicants should note that, pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements is prohibited. Forgone profit does not qualify as cost-sharing or leveraging. However, if a prime recipient has a (sub)-contract with a for-profit organization for the acquisition of goods or services (i.e., if a buyer-seller relationship is created), fee/profit for the (sub)-contractor is authorized. 3. U.S. and Non-U.S. Colleges and Universities Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities may apply for funding under this APS. USG and USAID regulations generally treat colleges and universities as NGOs, rather than governmental organizations; hence, both public and private colleges and universities are eligible. Non-U.S. colleges and universities in countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible. II. Private Voluntary Organization (PVO) A local or indigenous PVO, which by definition is a non-U.S. PVO operating in the same foreign country in which it is organized, that is not already registered with USAID is eligible to receive funding. However, such organizations are encouraged to consider registration. In accordance with 2 CFR 203, U.S. PVO or an рInternationa
