The U.S. Embassy Tokyo’s Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program that aims to advance women’s and youth entrepreneurship in Japan to promote sustainable economic growth and foster U.S.–Japan economic partnership.
Program Objectives
- Facing a shrinking population and an aging society, Japan’s decreased labor force capacity poses major challenges to its sustained economic growth. This places even more pressure on maximizing the capacity and efficacy of the existing workforce, as well as incorporating traditionally marginalized economic groups like women.

- Number of awards anticipated: 1-3 awards (dependent on amounts);
- Award amounts: awards may range from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum of $70,000;
- Total available funding: $70,000;
- Program Performance Period: Proposed programs should be completed in 2 years or less.
Participants and Audiences: The Embassy will only consider grants that are geared toward Japanese audiences.
Priority Region: Japan
