## What the grant funds

PLEASE NOTE THAT ORGANIZATIONS NO LONGER NEED A CAGE/NCAGE CODE TO REGISTER IN SAM.GOV (UNLESS THEY PLAN TO WORK WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE).

This is an Annual Program Statement (APS) outlining our funding priorities, the strategic themes upon which we focus, and the procedures for submitting proposals for funding. Please carefully read and follow the instructions below. Purpose of Small Grants PAS Mission South Africa invites proposals for projects that strengthen ties between the United States and South Africa through activities that highlight shared values and promote bilateral cooperation and meaningful exchange by connecting South Africans to Americans through institutions, perspectives, and experiences. All projects must include a substantive American element – which may be a connection with American experts, organizations, or institutions in a specific field – that will increase understanding of the United States among South Africans. PAS is seeking proposals that address one or more of the following challenges from a public diplomacy perspective. Public Diplomacy (PD) seeks to promote partnerships and information/knowledge exchange between Americans and foreign publics and institutions to enable more effective, mutually beneficial cooperation with the United States globally, benefitting the U.S. national interest and the national security of the United States as well as the countries with whom we partner. PD aims to identify and fund programs and projects that broaden and deepen dialogue and empower cooperation between American citizens and institutions -- including civil society and educational organizations – and their South African counterparts. Submissions that do not clearly describe the project’s strong and central American element will not be considered. PAS is soliciting proposals for small grants from South African non-profit institutions and non-governmental organizations, or non-profit private or public academic institutions. Proposals from for-profit entities will not be considered. These proposals must focus on one or more of the priority areas specified below.
