The U.S. Embassy in Jordan’s Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State has announced that funding is available through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program.
Public Affairs Section small grants are focused on projects that clearly support their mission priorities. The Small Grants Program will focus on the below Strategic Priorities:
- Encourage young people to take action in planning out their studies and identifying employment opportunities
- Inspire young people to take part in civil society and become more involved in their communities
- Support broad-based, inclusive economic growth in Jordan.
Target Audiences
Proposals should describe both the primary and secondary audiences for the program, including numbers anticipated to be reached. Primary audiences are those who will participate directly in the program, while secondary audiences are those who will be reached by the project’s primary audiences, as a result of their participation. For example, in a teacher training program, the primary audience would be the teachers who will be trained, while the secondary audience would be their students. Audiences who are considered a priority for grants funded under this APS are:
- Jordanian youth under age 30
- Areas outside the Greater Amman Municipality
Note: Please note that proposals addressing audiences not listed above are still eligible, but such proposals must clearly indicate why addressing the proposed audience is especially important to achieving the goals stated above.
Funding Information
- Award amounts: up to $10,000. Awards larger than $10,000 may be possible but are very rare.
- Total available funding: approximately $40,000 anticipated to be available in each regular funding cycle (Cycles A and B), pending availability of funds.
- Anticipated project start date: Project activities should start between May 15, 2019, and September 30, 2019, and the proposed start date should make sense for the purposes of the project.
