PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Budapest Public Diplomacy Section (PDS Budapest) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce that funding is available through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program.

Please carefully follow all instructions below. Purpose of Small Grants: PDS Budapest invites proposals for programs that strengthen ties between the U.S. and Hungary through cultural and exchange programming that highlights shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. Examples of PDS Small Grants Program programs include, but are not limited to: Academic and professional lectures, seminars and speaker programs; Artistic and cultural workshops, joint performances and exhibitions; Cultural heritage conservation and preservation programs; Professional and academic exchanges and programs; Priority Program Areas in 2024: a) Promoting rule of law and democratic governance by supporting legal and institutional changes which strengthen the rule of law and expose and combat corruption b) Strengthen respect for international human rights and those democratic values, support marginalized groups c) Strengthening independent media and journalism and helping to foster critical thinking d) Promoting unity among NATO allies and a united response to the Russian war on Ukraine e) Supporting Hungary’s Transatlantic commitment by addressing transnational threats, including disinformation f) Increasing awareness of America’s role as an economic partner to Hungary Participants and Audiences: We seek proposals for geographically and demographically diverse audiences within Hungary.
