Description
This opportunity, offered by the U.S. Mission to Georgia's Public Diplomacy Section, funds small-scale projects that strengthen ties between the United States and Georgia by advancing cultural engagement. Projects should highlight U.S.–Georgia cooperation, reinforce people-to-people connections, and support shared interests in security, economic growth, and regional stability. All proposals must include a clear American component, such as collaboration with U.S. experts, organizations, or institutions, and should promote greater understanding of U.S. perspectives and foster opportunities for collaboration.
Supported activities may include cultural festivals, exhibitions, performances, sports diplomacy, lectures, seminars, and exchanges. The program especially welcomes initiatives targeting regions outside Georgia's capital and communities with ethnic or religious minorities.
