About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State, U.S. Consulate General Naha is soliciting applications for a cooperative agreement to implement two disaster preparedness forums—one on Okinawa main island and one on Miyako Island—with an application deadline of August 10, 2026 (GMT+9).
Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), think tanks, civil society and nongovernmental organizations, public and private educational institutions, individuals, public international organizations, governmental institutions, and foreign-based nonprofits and NGOs.

The award ceiling is $100,000 total available funding, with one award anticipated. The performance period is 15 months, with an anticipated project start date of October 1, 2026. The program aims to strengthen disaster preparedness and crisis response capacity across Okinawa, including the Southwest Islands, through structured, expert-led interactive forums that advance U.S.-Japan cooperation on emergency management and bridge coordination gaps among local and national government authorities, emergency responders, civil society, U.S. and Japanese military, and community stakeholders.
