Grants are provided to private voluntary organizations** (PVOs) working to strengthen NGOs in developing countries, with an emphasis on fragile and conflict states.
For 30 years, PVC has helped to strengthen PVOs and improve their services. Drawing on this history, PVC-ASHA provides USAID, PVOs, NGOs, and the broader development community with valuable lessons, tools, and methodologies to build and support healthy and lasting NGOs worldwide.
PVC-ASHA also helps to strengthen American schools, libraries, and medical centers abroad, fostering a favorable image of the United States. Since ASHA’s inception, the program has assisted some 200 institutions in more than 60 countries around the world. Its current portfolio includes more than 100 grants.

Grant Opportunities
PVC offers ongoing grant opportunities to strengthen NGOs, develop business cooperatives, and support the shipment of humanitarian supplies to countries in need. ASHA grants fund infrastructure, supplies, and equipment to support American schools, universities, and hospitals abroad.
PVC is currently accepting proposals from US PVOs and other non-profit organizations for NGO-related research projects through an Annual Program Statement for Research.
Special Initiatives
PVC-ASHA's research and outreach programs foster discussion within USAID and the PVO/NGO community on cross-sectoral and cross-regional issues related to organizational development. To promote a better understanding of issues related to NGO organizational development, PVC-ASHA maintains a Knowledge Inventory Database, a searchable web-based database of USAID organizational development lessons learned, methods and tools. PVC-ASHA also regularly consults with PVOs and the development community through conferences and workshops. In addition, PVC-ASHA registers all U.S. and international PVOs interested in becoming eligible for USAID support.
