Opportunity Information: Apply for STATE BISHKEK PAS 20 0002
The Annual Program Statement for Public Affairs Cultural and Educational Programs (Funding Opportunity Number: STATE BISHKEK PAS 20 0002) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Kyrgyzstan, specifically the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Embassy in Bishkek. The program supports public diplomacy-focused cultural and educational activities, with the overall funding activity category listed under Arts (with a reference to Cultural Affairs in CFDA). The applicable CFDA number is 19.040, which is commonly associated with public diplomacy and related exchange or cultural programming.
Funding is provided through either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning applicants may receive support in a standard grant format or in a cooperative agreement format where the Embassy may have a more substantial role in shaping or participating in the project during implementation. The opportunity is run on a rolling basis, so applications can be submitted at any time while the announcement is open, rather than only by a single fixed submission window. However, all submissions needed to be in by the stated deadline of August 23, 2020, and awards were contingent on the availability of funds, which signals that even strong proposals might not be funded if the annual budget has already been committed.
The announcement indicates an award ceiling of $120,000 and an expectation of about 25 awards. This suggests the Embassy anticipated funding a range of project sizes, potentially including smaller community-based initiatives as well as larger, more comprehensive programs, so long as they align with PAS goals and priorities. While the notice does not list the priorities in the excerpt provided, it explicitly emphasizes that applicants should pay close attention to the Public Affairs Section's goals, priorities, and target audiences when developing proposals, implying that alignment with Embassy public diplomacy objectives is a central selection factor.
Eligibility is broad and includes individuals as well as other applicants, with an added note that further clarification would be found in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section in the full announcement. In practice, opportunities of this type often welcome proposals from a mix of local organizations, NGOs, educational institutions, cultural groups, and independent practitioners, provided they meet the requirements set out in the full program statement.
Finally, the Embassy makes clear that it does not accept letters of intent, concept papers, or requests for meetings prior to application, citing the high volume of inquiries and submissions. This means applicants are expected to submit a complete application package without preliminary consultation, and proposals should be well developed, clearly structured, and responsive to the Embassy's stated public diplomacy priorities from the start.Apply for STATE BISHKEK PAS 20 0002
