What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of State's Embassy Ottawa announces an open competition to implement a program to convene alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs for an alumni summit in Ottawa, Ontario. This summit will bring together exchange program alumni to foster continued engagement, networking, and collaboration among participants who have benefited from U.S. exchange initiatives. The summit will provide a platform for alumni to reconnect, share experiences, and explore opportunities for ongoing partnership. The target audience is Canadian alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs based in Canada. This program advances U.S. foreign policy priorities by strengthening people-to-people ties between the United States and Canada. By leveraging past exchange program investments and maintaining robust alumni networks, the program supports the bilateral relationship and promotes mutual understanding between the United States and Canada. The summit will foster continued collaboration among exchange alumni, reinforcing the long-term impact of U.S. exchange programs and contributing to deeper cooperation on shared priorities.
