About this program
The Department of State's National Endowment for Democracy Small Grants program (CFDA 19.666) funds indigenous civil society organizations advancing democracy across Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia, with the most recent grant awarded on September 21, 2021. The program has not posted recent grant opportunities; its award cadence has been sparse and irregular, with twelve total awards spanning from 2011 to 2021 and no disbursements in the past five years. Combined federal dollars obligated total $55.9 million across the portfolio.
The program funds concrete democratic development activities: sub-grants to independent media initiatives in Southeast Europe, media disinformation-counteracting projects in Central and Eastern Europe, civil society strengthening in Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Serbia, and Kosovo, and scholarship programs for Belarusian students. Representative recent awards include $3.99 million (September 2021) to foster democratic development and institutions across the Europe region, $2.34 million (September 2021) to improve freedom and quality of information in Southeast Europe, and $2.72 million (August 2018) to address disinformation and malign influence in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe. An earlier award of $14.6 million (August 2017) provided sub-grants to indigenous non-governmental organizations regionwide.
All grants in the portfolio are Project Grants. Funding flows from two entities within the Department of State: the Department of State itself (seven awards, $29.3 million) and the Department of State Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (five awards, $26.6 million). Award magnitudes typically range from $60 thousand to $4 million, with a median near $2.7 million. The program's inactivity since September 2021—no awards in the past five years—suggests it is currently dormant or has shifted to a different Assistance Listing. Organizations considering pursuit should confirm current funding availability with the State Department before developing applications.
