The Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund is limited to locally registered Community Based Organizations (CBOs), associations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with at least two years of experience working in Cameroon. Recipients of two previous years’ Self-Help Fund grants are not eligible for the current year’s funds, which is the 3rd consecutive year. Organizations and entities with a prior history of poor performance of U.S. government grants are ineligible to apply for funding.

Is this a realistic fit?

• Past Ambassadors' Special Self Help Fund awards averaged $7,638; this notice allows up to $10,000 per award.
• The notice requires cost sharing or matching funds, so you must contribute part of the project cost.
