About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy Praia's Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program seeks to strengthen U.S.-Cabo Verde relations through funding initiatives that promote mutual understanding and collaboration. The Department of State is soliciting proposals from non-profit organizations, educational institutions, public international organizations, and governmental institutions in the U.S. and Cabo Verde. All proposed projects must include an American cultural element or connection with U.S. experts/institutions and align with U.S. foreign policy priorities such as economic growth, security cooperation, democratic governance, and cultural exchange. Applications will be evaluated based on program quality, organizational capacity, planning, budget justification, monitoring and evaluation plan, and project sustainability. The application deadline is July 31, 2025, with a focus on projects that demonstrate programmatic efficiency and alignment with current U.S. foreign policy objectives.
The grant program will award approximately 10 grants ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, with a total available funding of $30,000 for fiscal year 2025. The performance period for selected projects will be 12 to 18 months, with an anticipated project start date of August 25, 2025. Funding will be sourced from the FY25 Smith-Mundt and Fulbright Hays Public Diplomacy Funds, and the grants will be administered through the U.S. Embassy in Praia, Cabo Verde. Projects are expected to take place in Cabo Verde and involve direct engagement with local stakeholders while maintaining a clear connection to U.S. cultural and diplomatic interests.
