## What the grant funds

In 2022, the United States and Latvia celebrated 100 years of diplomatic relations. Today, the United States and Latvia are strategic partners, committed to defending our achievements and ensuring that future generations will have the same personal liberties, human rights, and economic freedoms that we enjoy. Looking to the future, our alliance faces new challenges: disinformation and malign influence; hybrid attacks; transnational corruption and crime and social divisions that threaten our stability and security. The Embassy seeks alumni projects that will help our alliance adapt and be resilient to the challenges posed by these complex issues and result in an even stronger U.S.-Latvia partnership. We invite our alumni to submit a project that will advance this vision. Proposals must address themes that strengthen the U.S.-Latvia partnership through the role of civil society, NGOs or other democratic entities/mechanisms; enhancing media literacy or countering disinformation; anticorruption; promoting entrepreneurship or transatlantic-oriented economic policies; or affirming the role of NATO, as well the U.S. and Latvia’s commitment to it. Proposals that do not address the theme as outlined in the program objectives will be deemed ineligible. All project activities must take place outside of the United States and its territories. Projects that include activities happening in Latvia will be prioritized. Funding type: Grant or Fixed Amount Award Decision date: no later than June 30, 2025. Project start date: no earlier than September 1, 2025. Expected size of individual awards: Between $5,000 to $35,000.
