The grants, with award dates spanning from October 2021 to June 2024, have consistently been project-based grants from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (Agency ID: 1900|1900|19XEUR-A). Each grant has supported three-day festivals designed to promote cultural understanding through barbecue techniques, country music, and dance, with festival durations typically running from October to September of the following year. The most recent grant, awarded on June 26, 2024, specifically aims to inform Slovenian audiences about culinary creativity and American cultural practices through barbecue events and accompanying musical performances.
