Description
This grant funds a single cooperative agreement for a qualified Uruguayan organization to develop, implement, and manage a Public Diplomacy small grants program in close partnership with the U.S. Embassy Montevideo. The selected recipient will be responsible for promoting the small grants opportunity, accepting and reviewing subgrant proposals, corresponding with applicants, managing payments and financial records, and monitoring and evaluating funded activities. All supported projects must include a clear U.S. element—such as collaboration with U.S. experts, institutions, or organizations—and align with strategic themes like security, democratic governance, technology and innovation, economic prosperity, education, and sports diplomacy. The program aims to foster greater understanding of the United States among the Uruguayan public, showcase American excellence, and enhance bilateral relations.
