• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

Eligibility is open to non-profit organizations. Organizations may sub-award/contract with other entities, but only one non-profit entity may be the prime recipient of the award. For-profit entities are not eligible to be the prime recipient of an award under this NOFO. When sub-awarding/contracting with other entities, the responsibilities of each entity must be clearly defined in the proposal. Per Section D of the NOFO narrative, applicants must submit proof of their non-profit status with their proposal (proof of 501(c)(3) status for U.S. entities, the Afghan NGO license for Afghan entities, equivalent document for non-Afghan and non-U.S. entities). Applications that do not include this proof of non-profit status will not be reviewed or considered for an award. Individuals are not eligible for an award under this NOFO. Please refer to Section D of the NOFO narrative for funding restrictions.

What the grant funds

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan is pleased to announce an open competition for eligible organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to facilitate greater connectivity, community engagement, and cross-border activities of alumni of U.S. Embassy Kabul Public Diplomacy programs. This project will facilitate coordination among U.S. Public Diplomacy program alumni, enabling them to unite their efforts and play an active role in the social, economic, and political development of Afghanistan. This will include the creation and management of a robust schedule of networking events, professional development workshops, cross-border dialogues, community engagement projects, and mentoring programs, as well as the management of an alumni grants program, and the execution of an effective internal and external communications strategy. PAS intends to issue an award for a period of 36 months.
