Opportunity Information: Apply for OFOP0001266
The U.S. Mission to Paraguay, through the Embassy's Public Diplomacy (PD) Section, is offering grant funding under its Fiscal Year 2024 Public Diplomacy Grants Program. This opportunity is published as an Annual Program Statement (APS), which means it serves as a broad call for proposals that match the Embassy's public diplomacy priorities rather than a single narrowly defined project competition. The overall purpose is to support programs in Paraguay that help audiences better understand the United States and engage with U.S. culture, society, institutions, and values. Projects are expected to align with the priority areas and strategic themes described in the FY 2024 APS document, with an emphasis on outreach and programming that communicates how the United States functions and what it stands for across areas like government, law, economics, politics, and civic life.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number OFOP0001266 and falls into the "Discretionary" category, meaning awards are made competitively at the agency's discretion based on merit, fit with priorities, and available funds. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates the Embassy expects to have substantial involvement in the project during implementation. In practice, that often means coordination with PD staff on major program elements such as speaker selection, branding and messaging, key deliverables, scheduling, or participation of Embassy representatives, rather than a hands-off grant arrangement. The activity category is labeled "Other," and the associated CFDA (assistance listing) number is 19.040, which is commonly used for public diplomacy and related U.S. Department of State programming.
Eligibility, as stated in the provided data, is limited to nonprofits with U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education. In other words, the applicant organization must be a qualifying U.S. nonprofit and cannot be a university or college as the applicant entity. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate nonprofit status and the organizational capacity to design and manage an international program, including compliance, financial controls, and the ability to track results. While the projects are to focus on audiences in Paraguay, the applicant eligibility here is specifically tied to U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations, which suggests the Embassy is seeking implementers that can reliably administer U.S. federal assistance while building partnerships and delivering activities in-country.
In terms of funding size and scale, the award ceiling is $20,000 per award, and the Embassy anticipates making about five awards. This places the program in the small-grants range, which usually favors focused, clearly scoped projects with practical deliverables, realistic timelines, and measurable outcomes. Strong proposals for opportunities like this generally define a target audience in Paraguay, explain why that audience matters for the Embassy's public diplomacy objectives, and lay out a credible plan to engage participants through activities such as workshops, exchanges, speaker programs, cultural or educational events, training series, public discussions, or collaborative initiatives that highlight U.S. expertise, institutions, and values. Even though the specific priority areas are referenced as being in the full APS document, the Embassy's stated intent is clear: programs should inform, connect, and build understanding of the United States in a way that is relevant and meaningful to Paraguayan audiences.
The original application closing date is July 5, 2024, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of January 29, 2024. Interested organizations would be expected to follow the procedures laid out in the APS for submission requirements, including how to present the program narrative, budget, monitoring and evaluation approach, and any required forms or attachments. Because this is a cooperative agreement and a public diplomacy program, proposals that emphasize audience engagement, credible local partnerships, clear messaging and outreach plans, and tangible results reporting are typically better positioned.Apply for OFOP0001266
