The U.S. Embassy Honduras Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program or project through its 2021 Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program.
The Public Affairs Section is particularly interested in artistic projects that support Hondurans in building a more peaceful, prosperous, and democratic future in Honduras.
Preference will be given to proposals that demonstrate the long-term sustainability of the project, in-kind and/or in-cash financial commitments from other funding sources, and impact evaluation components.
Priority Program Areas
- Countering root causes of irregular migration
- Economic growth and recovery
- Press freedom and countering disinformation
- Transparency, rule of law, and civic engagement
- Empowering underserved communities
- Improve teaching and learning of the English language
- Build long-term relationships between U.S. and Honduran higher education institutions.
Program Period of Performance: Priority will be given to projects that are completed in one year or less. PAS Honduras may contemplate applications for continuation grants funded under these awards beyond the initial budget period on a non-competitive basis subject to availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the program, and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the U.S. Department of State.
