Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS BUJUMBURA FY24 02
The U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura, through the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement. This opportunity is meant to support programs and projects that bring Burundians and Americans closer together by using cultural and exchange-style activities that highlight shared values and encourage practical cooperation between the two countries. The announcement explains the embassy's general priorities and themes for funding, and it lays out the basic rules and process applicants need to follow when requesting support.
At the core of this grant is the expectation that every proposed project has a clear "American element." In practice, that means the activity should include a U.S. component such as U.S. expertise, collaboration with a U.S. organization or institution, participation by American specialists, or a strong connection to U.S. priorities and perspectives in the relevant field. The goal is not only relationship-building, but also improving understanding of U.S. policy and viewpoints through credible engagement and programming. The embassy also signals that proposals will be stronger when they work with existing embassy-connected networks like English Clubs, American Spaces, or alumni of U.S. exchange programs, since those partners can help expand reach, improve credibility, and sustain the impact after the grant ends.
Eligibility is open to both U.S. and Burundian entities, as long as they fit within the categories listed. The main eligible applicants are registered not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks, civil society groups, and NGOs with demonstrated programming experience) and non-profit or governmental educational institutions. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is classified as discretionary, meaning awards are competitive and depend on how well proposals match PDS goals and meet the requirements.
A key administrative rule is that each organization may submit only one proposal. If an organization submits more than one, the embassy will treat all of that organization's submissions as ineligible, so applicants need to consolidate ideas into a single, well-developed application rather than sending multiple smaller proposals. Cost sharing or matching funds are not required, which lowers barriers for organizations that may not have substantial resources of their own, though applicants still need to present a realistic and well-justified budget.
For eligibility and compliance, applicant organizations must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and an active registration in SAM.gov. The UEI is obtained through the SAM.gov registration process, and a valid registration is required to receive an award. This is an important step to plan for early, since SAM registration can take time depending on the organization and documentation required.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity is listed as "U.S. Embassy Bujumbura Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) Annual Program Statement" with the funding opportunity number PDS BUJUMBURA FY24 02. The agency is the U.S. Mission to Burundi. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is USD 20,000, and the embassy expects to make around 10 awards. The original closing date for submissions is June 28, 2024. The opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 19.040 and 19.441, which relate to U.S. Department of State public diplomacy and exchange-related assistance categories.
Overall, this grant is designed for organizations that can run practical, community-facing programs that connect U.S. and Burundian people and institutions, incorporate a meaningful American partner or perspective, and use cultural or exchange approaches to deepen mutual understanding and cooperation. The strongest applications will typically be those with a clear program design, a credible American component, strong local partnerships (especially with English Clubs, American Spaces, or exchange alumni), and a compliant submission that follows the one-proposal rule and the SAM/UEI requirements.Apply for PDS BUJUMBURA FY24 02
