## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to assist in the development of the three Iraqi Alumni Associations – Southern Chapter (IIAA Iraqi Independent Alumni Association), Central Chapter (DHA Development Horizon Association), and Northern Chapter (EPA Exchange Program Alumni). The IIAA, DHA and EPA organizations were formed by Iraqis who have participated in U.S. government-funded exchange programs that involved travel to the United States (i.e., IYLEP, IVLP, Fulbright, etc.). Founded in 2014, they were established to provide alumni with opportunities for networking, professional development, community service, and continued contact with the US Mission. The associations, having become less active in recent years (particularly during the strictures of COVID), need assistance with organizational development, including: re-formulating their vision, mission, and goals; development of organizational and leadership structures; leadership training; completing the process to legally re-register as NGOs; developing and executing a plan of activities that support their mission and goals, which should align with those of Embassy Baghdad and the United States Government; conducting fundraising; planning and budgeting; communications; and outreach and recruitment of new members who meet the eligibility requirements
