Ocean Freight Reimbursement

The Ocean Freight Reimbursement (OFR) Program provides small competitive grants to approximately 50 U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs) each year, allowing recipients to ship a wide variety of goods overseas for use in privately funded development and humanitarian assistance programs. Funds are used to reimburse the PVOs' costs to transport donated commodities, such as medical or educational supplies, agricultural equipment and construction equipment to developing countries.

OFR is on a two-year cycle so Requests for Applications (RFAs) are released (bi-annually). The Program reaches out to small and/or newly registered PVOs by providing grants to many first-time applicants. Click here for more information on how to become a registered PVO, .
