Please carefully follow all instructions below. Purpose of Small Grants: The U.S. Mission Public Affairs Section invites proposals for programs that strengthen ties between the U.S. and France through programming that creates opportunities for bilateral cooperation in areas of mutual interest and highlights shared values. All programs must include a U.S. element, such as an American expert, organization, cultural element, or institution that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. Priority Program Areas: The U.S. Mission Public Affairs Section seeks to engage the public, decision-makers, civil society leaders, and opinion-shapers at all levels of French society on information, security, economic, cultural, and educational issues through public diplomacy resources and expertise, with the goal of broadening support for, and understanding of U.S. policies, culture, history, society, and values. Priority will be given to programs that demonstrate a proven commitment to inclusion, gender equality, as well as diverse voices, socio-economic and geographical backgrounds. Priority programmatic themes for the U.S. Mission to France include: § Security and Defense: Activities that promote transatlantic security; combat transnational, regional, and global challenges, such as terrorism, racially, ethnically, and/or religiously motivated violent extremism, or cyber threats; and encourage resistance to malign influence and disinformation. § Foreign Policy: Activities that promote understanding of U.S. foreign policy priorities and Franco-American foreign policy cooperation among the French public and influencers.
