PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U. S. Embassy Santiago Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U. S. Department of State is pleased to announce a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for programs celebrating the bicentennial of the U.S.-Chile bilateral relationship.
This NOFO also outlines the procedures for submitting proposals.
Please carefully follow all instructions below.
Program Objectives:
The Embassy Public Affairs Section invites proposals for highly creative programs that highlight U.S.-Chile ties by celebrating 200 years of U.S.-Chile diplomatic relations in 202 3. Programs should focus on shared values and bilateral cooperation, including the personal, professional, organizational, educational, cultural, and/or official connections between the two countries.
Proposed programs should be particularly engaging for audiences ages 18-35, and they should strengthen popular support for United States-Chile relations.
Examples of past programs have included, but are not limited to:
• Speaking tours/public talks by U. S. experts or roundtable discussions by U. S. experts with counterparts in Chile; • Activities that foster long-term student and academic collaboration between U. S. and Chilean universities, technical schools, and community colleges; • Joint U.S.-Chile virtual or in-person conferences or meetings that promote U.S.-Chile collaboration and share expertise and best practices among Chilean audiences and institutions; • Creative projects that use social media or virtual interaction to expand and amplify project impact.
Participants and Audiences:
The Public Affairs Section will consider the full range and diversity of U. S. and Chilean non-profit organizations and higher education institutions.
Government agencies and for-profit institutions, such as those registered as commercial and/or private businesses, are not eligible to receive funding.
Preference will be given to:
• U. S. and Chilean individuals and institutions with a proven track record of executing outstanding cultural and educational events, exchanges, and programs; • Proposals that demonstrate the long-term sustainability of the project and/or outcomes.
• Proposals that address gender parity among participants/audiences and include engagement with underserved communities (including, but not limited to, immigrants, women, LGBTI individuals, people with disabilities, indigenous communities, and racial minorities) and participants located in regions outside of Santiago.
Categories that are not eligible for funding under this NOFO:
• Programs relating to partisan political activity; • Charitable or development activities; • Construction programs; • Programs that support specific religious activities; • Fundraising campaigns; • Lobbying for specific legislation or programs; • Scientific research; • Programs intended primarily for the growth or institutional development of the organization; • Social welfare projects, acts of charity, or international development projects; • Investments that primarily benefit only one or a few businesses or individuals; • Scholarships for the study of English outside of specific Department of State programs; • Exchange programs with countries other than the United States and Chile; • Programs or exchanges focused on children under 16 years of age; and • Programs that duplicate existing programs.
