About this opportunity
The Department of State's Embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius is soliciting proposals for the 2026 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2026) to support alumni-led projects that advance U.S. interests and promote mutual understanding between the United States and Mauritius. Eligible applicants must be alumni of U.S. government-funded or sponsored exchange programs and must submit proposals as project teams comprising at least two alumni members. Projects should address innovation in alumni engagement across priority areas including agriculture, arts, community development, education, food and nutrition, health, humanities, information and statistics, law, justice and legal services, and science and technology. Proposals must be submitted to PortLouis_PAS@state.gov by May 4, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. (GMT+4), with projects expected to commence on September 15, 2026, and be completed within 12 months or less. Evaluation criteria will focus on how proposals meet program eligibility requirements and advance U.S. Department of State objectives, though specific evaluation rubrics are referenced in the complete solicitation documentation.
Awards under this funding opportunity will range from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum of $35,000 per project, with a total of $70,000 in available funding supporting an anticipated maximum of 2 awards, pending funding availability. The performance period is designed to be completed within 6 to 12 months, with the possibility of non-competitive continuation grants beyond the initial budget period subject to satisfactory program progress and State Department approval. All project activities must take place in Mauritius and should primarily benefit foreign national communities in alignment with U.S. foreign policy objectives.
