Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS SVK FY2024 02
The U.S. Embassy in Bratislava, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS), is inviting applications for the 2024 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2024). This is a competitive grant opportunity specifically for alumni of U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs who want to turn what they learned during their exchange into a practical public service project that benefits their community. Applications must be submitted by email to BratislavaGrantsSlovakia@state.gov, and the deadline listed for submission is February 15, 2024.
AEIF is designed to help exchange alumni build on their experience and implement innovative, community-focused solutions to real-world challenges. The program has been running since 2011 and has supported nearly 500 alumni-led projects globally, which signals that it is intended to be hands-on and impact-oriented rather than purely academic or theoretical. The Embassy in Bratislava is looking for projects that clearly connect to at least one of its stated priority themes, and proposals that do not align with these objectives are considered ineligible. All funded activities must take place outside the United States and U.S. territories, meaning projects need to be implemented locally or regionally rather than in the U.S.
For Slovakia, the Embassy is particularly interested in alumni-led public service projects that address one or more of the following areas: combating disinformation; supporting the Ukrainian community in Slovakia and promoting inclusion of marginalized groups or minorities; strengthening alumni engagement by reforming existing alumni associations or establishing new alumni networks; and youth engagement efforts that also tackle brain drain. In practice, this means applicants should present a clear community need, explain how the project responds to one of these themes, and show how alumni expertise and networks will drive the project forward.
Eligibility is tightly defined. Applicants must be alumni of a U.S. government-funded or sponsored exchange program (including programs associated with the U.S. exchange visitor framework). Proposals must come from a team of at least two alumni; single-applicant proposals do not qualify. U.S. citizen alumni are not allowed to submit proposals as applicants, but they can still participate as members of the project team. Teams can be mixed, meaning alumni can come from different exchange programs and even different countries, as long as the proposal is submitted by eligible exchange alumni or an alumni association of U.S. government exchange alumni. No other types of organizations can apply on their own, although alumni teams are allowed to partner with nonprofits, NGOs, think tanks, and academic institutions to carry out activities. Importantly, the award can be issued either directly to the individual alumni or to a partner organization, which gives teams flexibility in choosing the most practical entity to manage funds and implementation.
From the funding details provided, this is a discretionary grant with an award ceiling of $35,000, and the Embassy expects to make about two awards under this notice. The opportunity is published under Funding Opportunity Number PAS SVK FY2024 02, administered by the U.S. Mission to Slovakia, and associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.022. Overall, the grant is aimed at alumni-driven, locally implemented projects that produce tangible community outcomes in Slovakia or the surrounding region, especially in areas tied to information resilience, inclusion and support for vulnerable communities, stronger alumni networks, and meaningful opportunities for young people.Apply for PAS SVK FY2024 02
