The U.S. Embassy in Latvia has announced the Small Grants program to support the enduring alliance between the United States and Latvia.

  • Stronger Democratic Institutions, including strengthened civil society, greater access to credible and independent news sources, capacity to resist disinformation, improved social inclusion, and expanded support for rule of law.
  • Enhanced European and Transatlantic Security, including support for NATO, cyber issues, and other shared security challenges.
  • Sustainable, shared economic growth, including support for STEAM education, solving environmental problems, entrepreneurship, and economic development for underrepresented communities.
  • Enduring Cultural Ties between the United States & Latvia, including projects that highlight the breadth and depth of the U.S.-Latvia partnership or showcase American cultural elements that are unique, novel, and meaningful to Latvian audiences.

Funding Information

  • No single grant may exceed 15,000 USD.
