About Global Ties U.s.
Global Ties U.S., a Washington, DC-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of State to administer the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) and related professional and cultural exchange initiatives. The vendor holds no federal contracts and does not subcontract; all 41 awards in the source are prime cooperative agreements and project grants to Global Ties U.S. itself.
Global Ties U.S. functions as the national administrative hub and fiduciary for the IVLP, a State Department public diplomacy program funded under CFDA 19.402 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs). The organization receives cooperative agreements from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to manage program administration, sub-award distribution to Community Partnership Grants (CPG) recipients, and direct exchange programming. The most recent award, a cost amendment dated February 19, 2026, added $1,486,664 in FY 2026 funding to the cooperative agreement, bringing total obligations through December 31, 2026 to $6,102,781. Global Ties U.S. leverages a network of over 40 sub-awardee organizations—including regional World Affairs Councils and international visitor centers in Las Vegas, Dallas/Fort Worth, Cleveland, St. Louis, Santa Fe, Orlando, and Western Massachusetts—to arrange professional appointments, cultural activities, site visits, accommodations, transportation, and interpretive services for international leaders selected by U.S. embassies. The organization has also received smaller cooperative agreements and project grants from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, the Bureau of Public Affairs, and the Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement to support region-specific exchange programs, including a 15-day exchange for Pakistani digital content creators (completed February 2025) and cultural programming in support of Expo 2020 Dubai.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of State bureaus. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs accounts for 22 of the 41 awards, followed by the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (5 awards), the Bureau of Public Affairs (3 awards), the Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement (2 awards), and the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (2 awards)—together covering 83% of awards. Activity has been sparse in the past five years (2022–2026), with one award per year except for 2024 (two awards), reflecting the structured nature of cooperative-agreement renewals and amendments rather than new procurements. One award completes within the next twenty-four months. Global Ties U.S. does not compete for federal contracts; its role is exclusive to grant-funded international exchange administration under State Department public diplomacy authorities.
