What the grant funds

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Cairo Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for U.S. Government (USG) funded exchange alumni programming. The proposals must support alumni networking, professional development, community projects, and/or teambuilding. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Program Objectives: The U.S. Embassy Cairo Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce that funding is available to support programs and projects that aim to strengthen the development of the U.S. Embassy Cairo alumni community. The objectives of these programs and projects are to amplify the benefits to Egyptians from U.S. Government exchange programs and conduct strategic engagement to help alumni build on their exchange experiences, network with fellow alumni (either online or in-person) to expand their professional networks, and access alumni-only activities, competitions, and funding opportunities. Proposals should provide details of the estimated number of participants, activities, program phases, timelines, and budget estimates for each phase. Proposals may include more than one element, special consideration will be given to proposals that address all three. 1) Alumni Unite: This program includes the design, recruitment, and implementation of two or three, multi-day, thematic retreat for approximately 50-75 alumni in each retreat (150 total). The sessions will be an opportunity to engage, network, and enhance the professional development of alumni. Alumni Unite helps alumni expand their personal and professional networks and skills, aid their local communities, and be more successful in their professional careers. (Note: Proposals for this program are anticipated to average between $100,000-$125,000.) 2) Give it Back: This program entails managing a mini-grants competition to support smaller, alumni-designed and implemented projects that target specific needs and affect positive change in their communities. This program allows alumni to leverage their specialized skills and talents to benefit their communities. The grantee will manage subgrants of between $5000-$20,000 for alumni of USG exchange programs and for members of the Ambassador’s Youth Council. Generally, larger grants will be reserved for individuals with experience in managing grants and community programs.
