Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS HONDURAS FY21 02
The U.S. Embassy in Honduras, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Department of State, released its FY21 Annual Program Statement for its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under Funding Opportunity Number PAS-Honduras-FY21-02. This announcement is essentially an open call for proposals, inviting qualified organizations to apply for grant funding to run programs or projects that align with the Embassy's public diplomacy goals in Honduras. The overall emphasis is on initiatives that help Hondurans contribute to a more peaceful, prosperous, and democratic future, with a particularly strong interest in artistic and cultural projects that can engage communities and spark constructive civic dialogue.
A central requirement of this opportunity is that proposed activities must have a clear and direct connection to the United States. In practice, this means proposals should include an American cultural element or involve U.S. participation in a meaningful way, such as bringing in American experts, partnering with U.S. organizations or institutions, or incorporating U.S.-based perspectives that support greater understanding of U.S. policy and viewpoints. The intent is not simply to fund local programming, but to fund exchanges and public-facing initiatives that build mutual understanding and strengthen people-to-people ties.
When it comes to competitiveness, PAS signals that preference will be given to proposals that look beyond a one-off event and show how results can last. Strong applications are expected to address long-term sustainability, including concrete plans for how the project will continue or how its benefits will persist after the grant period ends. The Embassy also favors proposals that bring additional resources to the table, whether through in-kind contributions (such as donated venues, volunteer time, or equipment) or cash cost-sharing from other donors or partners. Another highlighted factor is evaluation: applicants are encouraged to include impact measurement components, meaning they should explain how they will track participation, assess learning or attitude changes, document outputs and outcomes, and use data to show whether the project made a difference.
Eligibility is broad and includes U.S. and international registered nonprofit organizations as well as public and private educational and cultural institutions. The grant is listed as a discretionary award using the grant instrument type, and it falls under CFDA number 19.040. Applications must be submitted by email to TGGPASGrants@state.gov, and the subject line must include the Funding Opportunity Number (PAS-Honduras-FY21-02). The original closing date for submissions is listed as June 11, 2021.Apply for PAS HONDURAS FY21 02
