What the grant funds

The U.S. Consulate General Karachi Public Diplomacy Section (PDS Karachi) announces an open competition for one assistance award through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), contingent on funding availability, through the Public Diplomacy Grants Program. The project will involve the implementation of an after-school basketball camp for high school students. The objective is to utilize the traditional extracurricular landscape and integrate English language promotion and educational engagement within the dynamic context of sports, specifically basketball. The program seeks to unite high school students from both privileged and disadvantaged backgrounds to foster a sense of community, develop skills, and enrich participants’ academic experience. The project will span a 12-month period, or an academic year. The program should be strategically located in accessible and secure areas across Karachi to accommodate students from diverse neighborhoods. Proposals that effectively leverage existing resources from the U.S. Department of State’s Regional English Language Office (RELO) and integrate EducationUSA activities within the implementing plan will be given preference.
