United States Educational Foundation In Pakistan

United States Educational Foundation In Pakistan (USEFP), a Pakistan-based tax-exempt nonprofit foundation, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering educational exchange and public diplomacy programming on behalf of the Department of State, with nearly all recent awards (95% of the footprint) issued as prime grants and cooperative agreements rather than contracts. USEFP operates exclusively under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its federal award portfolio.

USEFP's capability footprint centers on educational exchange facilitation, alumni engagement, and professional development programming aligned with U.S. public diplomacy objectives in Pakistan. Representative grant work includes a $2.4 million cooperative agreement (later amended to $2.7 million) awarded September 29, 2024, by the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs to establish and operate the Pakistan U.S. Alumni Network (PUAN), supporting alumni conferences, masterclasses, internships, chapter reunions, and grants under the Freedom 250 and American Excellence initiatives. USEFP received a $100 thousand (later amended from $50 thousand) project grant in May 2022 from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs to send 100 Opportunity Funds and Competitive College Club students to the EducationUSA Academy Connects Summer Program. Additional work includes a September 2023 project grant for high school counselor travel to the I-ACAC Conference and EducationUSA Academy attendance, and a July 2022 project grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to cover travel and logistics costs for SUSI Student Leaders pre-departure orientation participants. USEFP also holds a $24,528 definitive contract from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs awarded September 30, 2026, for program staff support services through September 2027, with firm fixed-price terms and performance in Pakistan.

Customer concentration is monolithic — the Department of State and its bureaus account for 100% of identified awards. The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs funds 10 awards, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs funds 3, and the parent State Department accounts for 6 additional awards. USEFP operates as a prime recipient on eighteen awards and as a sub-recipient under the Institute of International Education Inc. on one grant sub-award. Award volume has remained sparse in recent years (one award in 2021, three in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026), and two awards carrying combined potential value of $25 thousand face completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated funding across all nineteen awards reaches $14.5 million, indicating that historical awards carry substantially higher obligated value than current pipeline potential.
