American Council of Young Political Leaders

The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs administered CFDA 19.403 for the American Council of Young Political Leaders program, with the most recent grant award dated June 10, 2009.

This program is effectively inactive. No grant awards have been disbursed since 2009, 17 years and 4 months before the current date. The program's portfolio contains only three Project Grants totaling $2 million in combined federal dollars obligated, awarded across 2007 to 2009 at a cadence of one award per year before ceasing entirely.

The program funded international political exchange programming for emerging leaders. Awards covered bilateral public diplomacy initiatives and educational exchange programs focused on democratic development practices, including a two-week delegation visit by Cairo University students to the United States. The Department of State was the sole funding agency across all three awards.

Award magnitudes ranged from approximately $35 thousand to approximately $979 thousand per grant. The two larger awards, issued in 2007 and 2008, were structured as multi-month programs running through the calendar year, while the 2009 award supported a shorter two-week delegation exchange.

No recent grant opportunities are supported by the source. The complete absence of grant activity since June 2009 and the program's continued classification under an active Assistance Listing number suggests the program may be dormant or that opportunities are not being posted in observable channels. Organizations evaluating pursuit should confirm whether the program remains active with the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and whether a new solicitation cycle is planned. Current pursuit carries material execution risk given the 17-year gap in award activity.
