What the grant funds

Agency Name: U.S. Mission to Kuwait Description: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE U.S. Embassy Kuwait Notice of Funding Opportunity: Statement of Interest Funding Opportunity Title: Supporting Civic Engagement, Marginalized Communities, and Education Through Exchanges and Training Funding Opportunity Number: KUWAIT-PAS-2021-01 Deadline for Applications: June 1, 2021 CFDA Number: 19.040 Total Amount Available: $75,000 A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait announces an open competition for organizations or individuals to submit a statement of interest (SOI) to carry out a program (or programs) to the Public Affairs section at the U.S. Embassy Kuwait. Please carefully follow all instructions below. The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a concise (1-2 pages) statement of interest designed to clearly communicate the program idea and its objectives. This is not a full proposal. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for evaluation prior to requiring the development of a full proposal application. Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application. Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decision are made. Program Objectives: Grant proposals must be less than $25,000 each and seek to achieve one or more of the following goals: 1. Prepare and encourage students in Kuwait to attend U.S. universities, whether through English or college readiness training, college advising, or other means; 2. Increase local capacity to counter discrimination, harassment, and abuse against women; 3. Strengthen efforts to raise awareness of and combat trafficking in persons; 4. Improve the ability of institutions in Kuwait to prepare for and respond to cybersecurity incidents; 5. Promote people-to-people ties between the United States and Kuwait through educational, cultural, or civic activities that engage youth and young professionals in Kuwait; or 6. Strengthen the ability of marginalized communities, youth, and women to participate fully in the political process and the economy. Interested applicants should submit a short summary of their proposal along with an estimated budget to PASKuwaitM@state.gov on or before June 1, 2021.
