Description
The U.S. Mission to Barbados, through its Public Diplomacy Section (PDS Bridgetown), offers small grants to alumni of U.S. Department of State-sponsored academic and professional exchange programs. The goal is to support alumni-driven projects that address critical needs and advance U.S. Embassy mission priorities in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines).
Projects should leverage the skills, knowledge, and networks gained through U.S. Government-funded exchanges to create positive community impact. The program encourages initiatives across a wide range of fields, including education, civil society, entrepreneurship, rule of law, youth empowerment, and disaster prevention and relief.
