## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to assist in the development of the Iraqi Alumni Associations –Central Chapter (DHA Development Horizon Association) that includes Baghdad, Anbar, Diyala, Babil, Wasit, Najaf, Karbala and Qadisia provinces. The DHA organization is one of three alumni associations 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, DHA was established to provide alumni with opportunities for networking, professional development, community service, and continued contact with the U.S. Mission. The association, having become less active in recent years), needs assistance with organizational development, including: re-formulating its vision, mission, and goals; developing organizational and leadership structures; training in leadership skills; completing the process to legally re-register as NGOs; developing and executing a plan of activities that support its mission and goals, which should align with those of Embassy Baghdad and the United States Government; conducting fundraising; planning and budgeting; developing a communications strategy; and organizing outreach and recruitment of new members who meet the eligibility requirements.
