The program runs from November 2026 through May 2027 and aims to deepen participants' understanding of the long-standing relationship between the United States and Oman. It covers cooperation in diplomacy, trade, space, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, and other shared priorities. The winning organization will receive up to $25,000 to design and deliver the entire program. The Council supports two bigger initiatives: the U.S. Embassy's Freedom250 campaign, which marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, and Oman Vision 2040, the country's national plan for economic and social transformation. The program's goals are to build youth leadership, encourage civic participation, develop human capital, and create lasting people-to-people ties between the two countries.

U.S.-ASEAN Road to 50: Rising Leaders Forum

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Mission to ASEAN is accepting applications to organize and run the U.S.-ASEAN Road to 50: Rising Leaders Forum, a one-day workshop in Jakarta that will bring together roughly 50 alumni from USASEAN exchange programs across Southeast Asia. The winning applicant gets between $60,000 and $85,000 to plan, host, and oversee the entire event. This is a grant for an organization or individual, not a scholarship for students. The forum marks 50 years of U.S.-ASEAN partnership and looks ahead to the next half-century. The core goal is to build an independent, self-sustaining alumni network that can collaborate on regional challenges. Participants will design joint action plans tied to U.S. priorities, including the U.S.-ASEAN Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, ASEAN centrality, artificial intelligence, the digital economy, energy security, critical minerals, resilient supply chains, maritime security, and entrepreneurship. The event will feature expert panels, strategy sessions, and a joint social media campaign to turn policy goals into practical, cross-border initiatives. The U.S. Mission to ASEAN is the diplomatic arm of the United States government focused on the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Based in Jakarta, the mission works on everything from trade and security to public health and education. Its Public Diplomacy Section runs exchange programs, cultural events, and policy dialogues that connect American and Southeast Asian leaders. This forum is part of that broader effort to deepen ties between the U.S. and the region. Jakarta is a dense, sprawling city of over 10 million people, and it serves as the headquarters for ASEAN itself. The working language for the forum will be English, which is widely used in professional and government settings across Southeast Asia. The city has a tropical climate, with high humidity and frequent rain showers year-round. For international participants, Indonesia offers visa-on-arrival for many nationalities, though organizers should factor in travel logistics for alumni coming from different countries in the region. Benefits - Award ceiling of $85,000 - Award floor of $60,000 - Single award for one applicant Eligibility - Not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations - Public and private educational institutions - Individuals - Public International Organizations and Governmental institutions How to Apply 1.

U.S.-Argentina Alumni Summit

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires is running an open competition for a single grant of up to $100,000 to organize a national, cross-sector Alumni Summit in Argentina. The goal is to strengthen civic leadership, good governance, and institutional resilience by equipping alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs with practical tools and ethical frameworks for using emerging technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), responsibly. The winning applicant will design and run a summit that brings together at least 50 alumni from the public, academic, NGO, and private sectors, and then helps turn that momentum into concrete, lasting partnerships. The core idea is that Argentina's network of U.S. exchange alumni is a high-potential human network that is currently underused. Leaders across public and civil society institutions want to use technological innovation, but they need deeper exposure to secure, transparent, and ethical approaches that align with U.S. civic values. This program is meant to build a professional pipeline that offers a trust-based alternative to the transactional outreach of strategic competitors, reinforcing long-term bilateral collaboration between the U.S. and Argentina. The embassy expects to be substantially involved in implementing the program, so this will be a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. The U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires is the diplomatic mission of the United States in Argentina. It manages bilateral relations, promotes U.S. interests, and administers exchange and assistance programs across the country. Its public affairs section typically handles educational and cultural exchanges, including alumni programming for flagship initiatives like Fulbright, the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), YLAI, and the Access Microscholarship Program. This competition reflects the embassy's broader effort to support democratic governance and open information environments in Argentina. Argentina is a large, diverse country with 23 provinces and an autonomous city, Buenos Aires. The cost of living varies significantly between the capital and the provinces, and the country has faced economic volatility in recent years. For participants, the summit is a chance to build a national network that spans these regions. The program explicitly prioritizes geographical diversity, so applicants should plan for recruitment that reaches beyond the capital. Working in Argentina means navigating a vibrant civil society, a strong university system, and a public sector that is increasingly interested in digital transformation, all within a context of economic uncertainty that makes cross-sector collaboration especially valuable. Benefits - Grant amount between $50,000 and $100,000, with a ceiling of $100,000 - Single award for one organization to design and implement the program - Cooperative agreement structure, meaning the U.S. Embassy will be substantially involved in implementation - Opportunity to shape a national summit with at least 50 multi-sector alumni participants - Funding supports scalable models and sustainable partnerships that extend impact beyond the initial funding period Eligibility - Open to not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations - Open to public and private educational institutions - Open to Public International Organizations - Primary beneficiaries must be alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs residing in Argentina, including but not limited to YLAI, IVLP, Access, and Fulbright - Beneficiaries should represent public sector officials and municipal administrators, academic researchers, faculty, and university leadership, civil society practitioners and NGO leaders, and the private sector - Applicants must describe participant recruitment and selection, prioritizing geographical diversity across Argentina's provinces - Applicants must design projects that increase capacity among at least 50 multi-sector exchange alumni - Applicants must promote at least three concrete post-summit, cross-sector joint initiatives or partnerships - Applicants must document a 20% positive shift in participant perception and commitment to upholding Freedom of Expression in digital spaces Required Documents - Project proposal describing the summit design, participant recruitment, and selection process - Plan for pre- and post-summit assessment mechanisms to measure the 20% shift in participant attitudes - Strategy for establishing at least three post-summit cross-sector initiatives or partnerships - Budget proposal within the $50,000 to $100,000 range - Description of how the project will achieve geographical diversity across Argentina's provinces How to Apply 1. Review the full announcement from the U.S. Embassy Buenos Aires to confirm all application requirements and deadlines. 2. Prepare your project proposal, budget, and supporting documents that address the three stated objectives. 3. Click the Apply button below to submit your application.

Subnational Industrial Innovation and Resilient Entrepreneurship Accelerator

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires is running an open competition for a $30,000 to $100,000 cooperative agreement to build a business accelerator for entrepreneurs in Argentina's industrial and mining provinces. The winning organization will design and run a program that gives at least 30 established small business owners 50 hours of training in financial management, legal compliance, supply chain optimization, and practical use of AI. The goal is to help these firms meet international corporate standards and break into global supply chains. The program targets strategic manufacturing and resource corridors outside Buenos Aires. Participants will be recruited through regional business chambers and must come from sectors like industrial construction, engineering services, logistics, transport, modular infrastructure, and environmental monitoring. The accelerator blends virtual sessions with intensive in-person workshops, and the model should be designed so it can expand from one province into a multi-province national network. The U.S. Embassy expects to be substantially involved in running the program, so this is a cooperative agreement rather than a simple grant. The winning applicant will work closely with embassy staff on implementation. The embassy is looking for scalable, practical proposals that show clear recruitment and selection processes for participants. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations, think tanks, NGOs, public and private educational institutions, public international organizations, and governmental institutions. One award will be made, with funding between $30,000 and $100,000. Benefits - Award ceiling of $100,000 - Award floor of $30,000 - One cooperative agreement awarded - Opportunity to build a multi-province national network from a single provincial cohort - Direct engagement with major regional industrial chambers - Anchoring to U.S. standard corporate practices Eligibility - Open to not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations - Open to public and private educational institutions - Open to Public International Organizations - Open to governmental institutions - Proposed program must deliver a minimum of 50 hours of blended instructional delivery - Program must serve a cohort of at least 30 established entrepreneurs, local suppliers, or small business operators - Participants must be based in strategic provincial industrial or mining hubs - Participant sectors must include industrial construction, technical maintenance, engineering services, logistics, transport optimization, industrial-grade input manufacturing, modular infrastructure providers, or technical environmental monitoring consultancies - Applicants must describe participant recruitment and selection processes How to Apply 1. Review the full announcement and prepare a proposal that addresses the project background, goals, objectives, and substantial involvement requirements. 2. Develop a detailed budget within the $30,000 to $100,000 range and a clear plan for participant recruitment and selection. 3. Click the Apply button below to submit your application.

National Disaster Coverage Training for Indonesian Journalists

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta is funding a national training program to equip at least 150 Indonesian journalists with the skills to report safely and accurately on disasters. The program targets journalists working in high-risk zones like North Sumatra, West Sumatra, and Central Sulawesi, regions hit hard by recent earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. The grant covers up to $25,000 for one award, with a minimum of $15,000, and is open to Indonesian non-profits, educational institutions, journalism associations, and civil society organizations. Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and spans more than 17,000 islands, making it one of the most disaster-prone countries on Earth. The archipelago faces frequent earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods, and landslides that affect millions and cause billions in economic losses each year. The 2018 Palu earthquake and tsunami in Central Sulawesi killed over 4,000 people, and extreme weather at the end of 2025 triggered massive landslides in North Sumatra and West Sumatra that took hundreds of lives. Despite this constant threat, most local journalists lack formal training in hazardous-environment safety, crisis communication, fact-checking, and coordination with emergency officials. The training will use workshops, field exercises, mentorship, and simulated disaster scenarios to build a cohort of disaster-ready reporters. The goal is that at least 75 trained professionals apply their skills during real disaster events, and at least 30 commit to mentoring colleagues within six months of completing the program. The initiative supports the U.S. foreign policy goal of strengthening regional disaster response and security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific by creating a reliable information environment that governments and humanitarian partners depend on during emergencies. The award recipient will work closely with U.S. Embassy Jakarta, which will consult on program development, approve training locations and content, participate in participant selection, and coordinate U.S. experts from the ECA's U.S. Speaker Program roster. The recipient manages the open call for journalists, selects at least 200 participants, organizes experts and venues, develops training modules, and handles all publicity and social media. This is a cooperative agreement, meaning the embassy stays actively involved throughout the period of performance. Responsibilities - Develop, organize, and implement an open call for journalists and media professionals working in disaster-prone areas - Manage a selection process in collaboration with PAS and other stakeholders - Identify and select at least 200 participants representing a range of media outlets, geographic regions, and experience levels - Source, organize, and manage experts to hold workshops, participate in panel discussions, and engage in mentorship and field practices - Develop, organize, and manage comprehensive training modules covering safety protocols, technical skills, disaster science, ethical reporting, digital tools, fact-checking, interviewing techniques, and coordination with emergency officials - Develop, coordinate, and oversee practical exercises including simulated disaster reporting scenarios, case study analysis, and field exercises - Identify, coordinate, and manage venues for all training activities, including audio, visual, and sound system support - Design and distribute digital and non-digital marketing and promotional materials - Develop a comprehensive social media campaign plan for all activities - Develop a resource library and best practices guide for disaster coverage - Plan to expand public awareness and visibility beyond the program - Provide all design files, photos, and videos of the program - Provide a promotion-ready, U.S. Embassy approved photo album and video series after completion - Maintain regular, transparent communication via email, phone, video conference calls, and face-to-face meetings with the grants officer, grants officer representative, and program officer throughout the period of performance Requirements & Qualifications - Indonesia-based non-profit organizations and non-government organizations (NGO) - Indonesian public and private educational institutions - Indonesian journalism associations and media development organizations - Indonesian civil society organizations with experience in journalism training or disaster preparedness - Applications from organizations with experience in managing journalism training programs, media capacity building, disaster preparedness initiatives, and professional development programs are encouraged - For-profit entities are not eligible to apply Benefits - Award ceiling of $25,000 - Award floor of $15,000 - One award available How to Apply 1.

U.S. Embassy Nassau Annual Program Statement for Public Diplomacy

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy in Nassau is giving out grants of $5,000 to $50,000 for programs that strengthen ties between the United States and The Bahamas. The Public Diplomacy Section runs this open competition, and it plans to fund about five projects. If you have an idea that brings Americans and Bahamians together around shared priorities, this is a direct way to get State Department money behind it. The embassy has five priority areas it wants to fund. Freedom 250 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026, so projects that connect that history to the U.S.-Bahamas relationship fit here. Business development and entrepreneurship covers trade, job creation, and economic growth. Educational and cultural programming includes exchanges, arts, and academic cooperation. Sports engagement uses athletics as a bridge between the two countries. Digital freedom and open information environments focuses on press freedom, internet access, and fighting disinformation. Your project should clearly tie into at least one of these. The U.S. Embassy in Nassau is the main American diplomatic post in The Bahamas, handling everything from consular services to cultural affairs. Its Public Diplomacy Section runs exchange programs, speaker events, and grant competitions like this one. The embassy works closely with Bahamian institutions, schools, and community groups, so it knows the local well. This grant program is one of the tools it uses to support grassroots initiatives that serve both countries. The Bahamas is a short flight from Miami, and Nassau is the capital and economic hub. The cost of living is high, especially for housing and imported goods, since most food and supplies come from the U.S. The climate is tropical, with warm weather year-round and a hurricane season from June to November. English is the official language, which makes collaboration straightforward for American applicants. If you are foreign-based, you can apply, but you will need to work with local partners on the ground to run your project effectively. Benefits - Grants range from $5,000 to $50,000 per project - About five awards will be made under this competition - Funding supports project costs, including personnel, materials, and activities - Successful applicants get a partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Nassau Eligibility - Open to U.S.-based non-profit organizations - Open to foreign-based non-profit organizations - Open to public and private educational institutions - Open to individuals - Open to public international organizations - Open to governmental institutions - All proposals must be in English - All budgets must be in U.S. dollars - Projects must align with at least one of the five priority areas Required Documents - Project proposal describing the program, goals, and activities - Detailed budget in U.S. dollars - Organizational information, including registration or legal status - Contact information for the primary applicant How to Apply 1. Prepare your project proposal and budget in English, with all amounts in U.S. dollars. 2. Email your complete application package to [email protected]. 3.

Building Lasting U.S.-Chad Partnerships to Promote American Excellence

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy in N'Djamena is offering up to $25,000 per project to organizations and individuals who can build lasting partnerships between the United States and Chad. Six awards will be made, ranging from $2,500 to $25,000 each. The goal is straightforward: strengthen ties between the two countries and showcase American excellence in areas where the U.S. is a global leader. This is a competitive grant program run by the U.S. Department of State's Public Diplomacy section in Chad. The embassy wants projects that create real, sustained relationships, not one-off events. Targeted participants include students, alumni of U.S. government exchange programs, business leaders, and journalists. The projects should highlight the United States as a preferred partner in education, technology, commerce, or other fields where American innovation is internationally recognized. The U.S. Embassy in N'Djamena manages American foreign policy and public engagement in Chad. It operates under the U.S. Department of State, which funds cultural, educational, and professional exchange programs worldwide. The embassy's public diplomacy work focuses on building mutual understanding between Americans and Chadians through grants, exchanges, and cultural programming. Chad is a landlocked country in Central Africa with a population of roughly 18 million. N'Djamena, the capital, sits on the Chari River near the border with Cameroon. The city has a hot semi-arid climate with temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F from March to June. French and Arabic are the official languages, though over 120 local languages are spoken across the country. For grantees, this means projects should account for local context, language needs, and the realities of working in one of the world's least developed countries. Internet access and infrastructure can be limited outside the capital, so digital projects should plan accordingly. Benefits - Award amounts range from $2,500 to $25,000 per project - Six awards will be granted in total - Funding supports program implementation, including materials, travel, and event costs - Projects can run for up to 12 months from the award date Eligibility - Open to not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations - Open to individuals who are alumni of U.S. Government-funded exchange programs or Public Diplomacy-funded outreach programs - Applicants must be based in Chad or have a demonstrated connection to U.S.-Chad relations - Organizations must have the capacity to manage U.S. federal grant funds Required Documents - Completed application form - Project proposal describing goals, activities, and expected outcomes - Detailed budget breakdown showing how funds will be used - Proof of not-for-profit status for organizational applicants - Documentation of alumni status for individual applicants - Timeline of proposed activities How to Apply 1.

Advancing Sports Diplomacy Through Adaptive Sports

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv is running an open competition for organizations to build Ukraine's capacity to support wounded veterans through adaptive sports. The U.S. Department of State is behind this initiative, which draws on American leadership and expertise in sport to aid rehabilitation and reintegration of veterans across Ukraine. Three awards are available, ranging from $30,000 to $150,000 each. This program capitalizes on President Trump's announcement of the Decade of Sports (2024-2034) and the United States' role as host of major global sporting events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games. The idea is to harness the unifying power of American sport to advance rehabilitation, strengthen partnerships, and project American leadership. Successful programs will deliver results through activities such as specialized athletic clinics, sports-focused English language programming, and adaptive sports tournaments. The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv is the diplomatic mission representing the United States in Ukraine. It manages U.S. foreign policy interests in the country, including development programs, cultural exchanges, and public diplomacy initiatives. This competition is part of the State Department's broader efforts to support Ukraine's recovery and strengthen bilateral ties through people-to-people programs. Ukraine remains a challenging environment for program implementation due to the ongoing war. Organizations should plan for security considerations, potential power outages, and disrupted supply chains. That said, there is strong local demand for veteran support services, and adaptive sports programs have been growing in popularity as a rehabilitation tool. English language skills are also in high demand among Ukrainians, making the sports-focused English component particularly valuable. Benefits - Award amounts range from $30,000 to $150,000 per grant - Three separate awards will be made under this competition - Funding supports program implementation, including athletic clinics, English language training, and adaptive sports tournaments - Programs contribute to Ukraine's long-term recovery and veteran reintegration efforts Eligibility - Open to U.S. or Ukrainian not-for-profit organizations - Civil society and non-governmental organizations are eligible - Organizations must have the capacity to implement sports-based rehabilitation programs Required Documents - Proposal outlining the proposed adaptive sports program - Organizational information demonstrating not-for-profit status - Budget details showing how funds will be used How to Apply 1.
