What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION U.S. Embassy Warsaw and U.S. Consulate General Krakow, Public Diplomacy Section (PD Poland) announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to compete for a grant award to deepen understanding of the United States through film, music, science, cultural, and other festivals in Poland. PD Poland invites proposals from eligible organizations for projects beginning no earlier than April 15, 2024. The deadline for this NOFO, #WAW-NOFO-FY24-02, is Friday, March 1, 2024. Please follow all instructions below. Program Objectives: This program will deepen understanding of the United States through the engagement of U.S. experts, artists, performers, or cultural works at festivals in Poland. Strong proposals will also advance priorities in the U.S.-Polish partnership, including but not limited to promoting economic, social, and scientific innovation; strengthening democratic practice, civic engagement, and tolerance; promoting gender equality; or building ties with next generation leaders and community influencers. Participants and Audiences PD Poland’s primary audiences for this funding opportunity are Polish students and young professionals, ages 18-35, as well as community influencers. PD Poland encourages efforts to ensure gender parity and geographic and socio-economic inclusion across all its activities. Applicants should be as specific as possible in their proposals about their project’s primary audience and how they will attract them to participate in the festival. The term “general public” is not an adequate description of the targeted audience. Tourists and other visitors to Poland are not a primary audience for PD Poland. Key Programming Descriptions: Each proposal should meet the following objectives: Facilitate enduring connections between American artists, performers, or experts and Polish audiences. Promote American artists, performers, experts, or cultural works (films, theater performances, literature, music, etc.) to Polish audiences through festivals held in Poland. Increase program participants’ understanding of American culture, society, or expertise, including the rich diversity of the American experience. Preference will be given to proposals that prioritize and maximize the impact on the audience while limiting overhead, equipment, and other expenses that do not directly support program participants.
