The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs awarded a $850,000 Cooperative Agreement to the International Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue, also known as the Hollings Center, to support its FY 2024 operations. This award, effective August 12, 2024 and running through July 14, 2027, is provided under the Cultural, Technical and Educational Centers program (CFDA 19.015). The Hollings Center is a non-profit organization focused on promoting dialogue and mutual understanding between the United States, Western countries, and countries with Muslim populations. The funding supports the organization's comprehensive approach to international dialogue, including hosting dialogues, convening working groups, facilitating educational exchanges, and conducting research studies across multiple program areas such as politics, economics, civil society, energy, media, religion, and youth empowerment. This grant enables the Hollings Center to develop and implement strategic initiatives that bridge cultural and intellectual gaps between the U.S. and countries with Muslim populations, leveraging the Fulbright-Hays Act authorities to support diplomatic and educational objectives.
