The program will award 3-5 grants ranging from $20,000 to $50,000 each, with a total available funding of $145,000, for projects lasting 9-12 months beginning October 1, 2025.

Synopsis
The U.S. government supports Kazakhstan's efforts to strengthen its media environment, including promoting Kazakh language and media. This support underscores the U.S. commitment to advancing bilateral relations and fostering democratic values and freedoms.
Kazakhstan has witnessed a rise of emerging digital media voices in recent years. The growing importance of these voices has been recognized alongside traditional media channels. However, as new digital media platforms continue to expand, many face challenges in navigating the complex digital landscape and producing high-quality, credible, and engaging content. This content must effectively communicate their expertise and meets audience expectations.
This assistance award supports new media platforms, contributing to a more robust, competitive, and dynamic media ecosystem in Kazakhstan. This support also fosters economic growth by driving digital innovations and сreative ideas.
