What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy in Prague Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for not-for-profit organizations/non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or academic institutions to submit applications to carry out a communication and public engagement campaign to mark the 25th anniversary of the Czech Republic’s NATO accession, which originally took place on March 12, 1999. The campaign should celebrate the anniversary, communicate the concrete benefits of Czech NATO membership to the Czech public, fostering a deeper appreciation of NATO's role in ensuring the nation's security, and promote the strength of the U.S.-Czech security partnership. The program objectives outlined below provide a roadmap for prospective applicants to create an engaging and widespread campaign. Through these objectives, proposals should increase awareness of U.S-Czech cooperation in security and international relations and ensure that Czech citizens are well-informed about the positive impact of NATO membership over the past 25 years, securing a strong alliance for the future. While proposals will preferably be for a comprehensive campaign covering a range of activities and messaging efforts throughout the anniversary year, smaller-scale proposals for a limited series of programs will also be considered. Priority Region: Czech Republic, with particular emphasis on activities outside the capital of Prague Program Objectives: PAS encourages proposals that include a wide range of project activities, outreach, and public messaging to celebrate the Czech NATO anniversary and to promote the United States as a strong security and diplomatic partner to the Czech Republic, based on our countries’ shared values. Proposed activities can be wide ranging, including the following: Raise Awareness: Increase public awareness throughout the Czech Republic about the historical significance and enduring benefits of the country's NATO membership, with a focus on the 25th anniversary milestone. Highlight Partnership: Emphasize and celebrate the strong and enduring partnership between the Czech Republic and the United States, showcasing the mutual commitment to security and defense within the NATO alliance. Programs and communications should include information about the United States’ role and roles of U.S.
