Would a Rape Crisis Center Be Relevant?

Following this, we have this:-

The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv is pleased to announce the 2008 small grants competition funded by the State Department’s U.S. Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI). We are looking for innovative, small projects that promote reform and develop civil society. NGOs and private sector organizations working within the minority and/or marginalized communities in Israel are invited to submit proposals that focus on advancing one or more of the four MEPI pillars in those communities:
Political Reform / Economic Reform / Education Reform / Women's Empowerment

PROPOSALS ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, January 31, 2008
PROJECT GUIDELINES

The project must be completed within 12-month period.
Grant requests must be in the $10,000-$25,000 range.
The budget should give priority to program-related activities or materials rather than salaries and administrative costs. Food and refreshments (including alcoholic beverages), entertainment, office rental and utilities, and construction costs cannot be funded.
Proposals related more to conflict resolution, coexistence and reconciliation, while extremely worthwhile, cannot be submitted in response to this solicitation.
The project proposal must be concretely focused on advancing reform in one of the four MEPI pillars above.
In accordance with U.S. law, all signed grants will include a clause prohibiting transactions with organizations that support or are involved in terrorist activity.
