About this opportunity
The AEIF 2024 grant opportunity requests proposals from teams of at least two alumni of U.S. exchange programs to design and implement innovative solutions in Georgia that promote American culture, economic prosperity, democratic values, community integration, skills building, de-occupation, and cultural preservation. The U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi seeks applicants to address objectives such as expanding alumni networks, strengthening government relationships, or building alumni leadership through projects of up to 12 months starting in September 2024. Proposals will be evaluated based on relevance, implementation quality, alumni involvement, local support, impact assessment, and sustainability with a deadline of February 15, 2024.
Awards between $5,000 and $35,000 will be provided through a cooperative agreement under the Department of State's Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs Appropriation Overseas Grants program.
