Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 24 AW 020 03212024
The U.S. Mission to Pakistan, through the Department of State's Public Diplomacy Section (PDS), is offering grant funding under its Mission Pakistan Public Diplomacy Grants Program via an Annual Program Statement (APS). This is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to support projects that advance the U.S. Mission to Pakistan's foreign policy goals and public diplomacy objectives. The APS functions as an open call that explains the program's broad funding priorities and strategic themes, and it lays out how applicants should prepare and submit proposals. Applications are accepted up to June 30, 2024.
Funding is available in two main ranges depending on project size. Small grants are intended to fall between $10,000 and $40,000, while large grants range from $50,000 to $150,000, with $150,000 listed as the award ceiling. The opportunity anticipates making around 15 awards. While the APS invites a range of ideas aligned with the program's priorities, proposals that show strong planning and a thoughtful, efficient use of resources are explicitly preferred, meaning budgets and activities should be clearly justified and cost-effective.
Eligibility is limited to non-profit, non-governmental entities based in the United States or Pakistan. Specifically, eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations, civil society or non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and public or private educational institutions. For-profit entities are not eligible to serve as applicants for this notice, even if they otherwise resemble an organization type listed as eligible. The program does allow sub-contracting or partnerships, but only one non-profit, non-governmental organization can be the prime recipient that holds the award. If a proposal includes sub-awards or sub-contracts, the application should clearly define what each partner will do, how responsibilities are divided, and how those roles support the overall project plan.
Administrative details provided in the notice include the funding opportunity title "Annual Program Statement," opportunity number SCAISB 24 AW 020 03212024, and CFDA number 19.501. Applicants are expected to follow the APS instructions closely and use the official grant application document and budget template referenced on the U.S. Mission to Pakistan website, since the program emphasizes compliance with stated submission requirements and clear, well-supported budgeting.Apply for SCAISB 24 AW 020 03212024
