What the grant funds

Overview Small Grants Program - Annual Program Statement The Public Diplomacy Section at U.S. Mission to France is now accepting Statements Of Interest (SOI) proposals to participate in the Embassy’s Small Grants Program competition. The U.S. Department of State provides funding for well-conceived programs that support U.S. Mission to France’s strategic priorities. Proposed programs should strengthen bilateral ties between the United States and France and include a clear U.S. connection that will promote increased understanding of the United States among the French public. All programs must include a U.S. element or a connection with experts, organizations, or institutions from the United States in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy or perspectives. 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. Civic Education and Media Literacy: Activities that support involvement of young people in the civic life of their country and building a sense of shared values and responsibilities of citizenship, especially across ethnic, religious, and socio-economic divisions. Activities that build media literacy and resilience to misinformation. Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability: Activities that encourage understanding of climate change, promote civic activities supporting environmental sustainability, promote innovation and economic opportunity related to climate change, and demonstrate how America and France can work together to achieve our climate goals. Prosperity, Trade, and Investment: Activities that encourage a nuanced understanding of U.S. agricultural practices and industries, support the expansion of U.S. exports and investments, improve the connections between U.S. and French businesses, and/or expand economic opportunities, entrepreneurship, and financial independence among women, youth, and underserved populations.
