Description

The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Mission to South Africa announces a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) from organizations interested in applying for funding for program proposals that strengthen ties and build relationships between the U.S. and South Africa. The PDS invites organizations interested in potential funding to submit SOI applications outlining program concepts that reflect this goal. The submission of a Statement of Interest (SOI) is the first step in a two-part process. Applicants must first submit a SOI, which is a concise concept note (maximum 3 pages) that describes your program idea and its objectives before the development of a full proposal application. Upon review of eligible SOIs, The PDS will invite selected applicants to expand their ideas into full proposal applications. SOIs may be submitted for consideration either by the first or second deadlines, February 28, 2021 or May 30, 2021. Please read the full announcement (in Related Documents) before submitting a Statement of Interest. Applications should be submitted by email to PretoriaGrants@state.gov. Question and Answer Opportunity: The PDS hosted a virtual question and answer session for potential applicants on May 4. A recording of the session is available on our website at https://za.usembassy.gov/public-diplomacy-section-annual-program-statement/.
