A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Diplomacy Section (PD) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications for carrying out programs under the Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program. This Notice of Funding Opportunity will support projects broadly linked to the theme of the 2024 Summit for Democracy, “Democracy for Future Generations,” hosted this year by the Republic of Korea’s (ROK). The Summit for Democracy is a global initiative that highlights the critical role of democracy, transparency, and inclusivity in tackling the world's most pressing challenges. Launched by the United States in December 2021, these summits gather world leaders, civil society, and the private sector to fortify democratic governance, uphold human rights, and combat corruption. This initiative emphasizes the importance of youth engagement and the systematic inclusion of civil society in the democratic process, aiming to foster international collaboration to ensure a prosperous, stable future for all. Purpose of Small Grants Competition: In support of the 3rd Summit for Democracy’s goal of safeguarding democracy for future generations, Seoul’s Public Diplomacy Section invites organizations and individuals to submit proposals for programs that strengthen civic participation and inclusion, build connections between democratic stakeholders in the United States, ROK and the broader Indo-Pacific region, and promote our shared values of inclusive democracy. Successful proposals must include an American element or connection with American experts, organizations, or institutions in a field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policies and perspectives. Proposals may include requests for international travel and related costs of experts, speakers, and key individuals in support of broader activities. However, participant exchanges should not be the exclusive program activity. Embassy Seoul strongly encourages proposals that include substantial outreach in areas outside of the Seoul Metropolitan region.
