The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, China is pleased to announce an open competition for assistance awards through this Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFO).  PAS invites proposals for conducting cultural exchange programs that will provide Chinese audiences with the opportunity to experience and understand U.S. culture, society, government and art.  PAS will generally award multiple grants for up to US $50,000 per grant, but will consider grants for up to US $150,000 for programs that address regional security concerns and nuclear proliferation, advocate for free, fair, and reciprocal trade and investment policies, or promote a free and open Indo-Pacific.
PAS seeks to fund creative and sustainable projects in China that build upon existing partnerships between U.S. institutions/organizations and Chinese counterparts, as well as those that create new partnerships.  Institutions/organizations are permitted to submit multiple concept papers, but should be aware that PAS seeks to provide opportunities to as many organizations as possible, and is less likely to fund an organization to work in more than one location. 

 

Programming created through this initiative will be open to the widest possible audiences.  The goal of these grants is to allow Chinese audiences to better understand the United States’ foreign policy, society, government, language, law, economic system, and values.  Areas of possible programming may include (but are not limited to):

  •  Lecture series, seminars, workshops or other programming that highlight U.S. foreign policy goals or  and explain U.S. society, government, and values,
  • Performing arts programming representing the broad range of  U.S. performing arts, including but not limited to music, dance, and drama that target key audiences that Mission China is unable to reach,
  • Educational programs that incorporate American foreign policy or values into classroom or other educational outreach programs.

Cost-Sharing or Matching
This program requires cost-sharing or matching on the part of the grantee organization and/or any partner institution. No specific level of cost-sharing is required, but applicants should demonstrate commitment to a successful program.

Applicants must submit concept papers electronically using Grants.gov. Deadline March 11, 2018.
