Description

The Public Diplomacy Section at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon invites past participants (Alumni) of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government sponsored exchange programs to submit their concept notes for possible funding through the 2025 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2025). The concept notes should be comprised of a proposal from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below and a budget (see Section D below for required documents). Exchange alumni interested in applying for funding under this statement of interest should submit proposals with a completed budget to PDBeirutGrants@state.gov by January 30, 2025, at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard time. AEIF provides alumni of U.S. government-sponsored and facilitated exchange programs with funding to expand on skills gained during their exchange experience to design and implement innovative solutions to global challenges facing their community. Since its inception in 2011, AEIF has funded nearly 500 alumni-led projects around the world through a competitive global competition. U.S. Embassy Beirut will accept public service projects proposed and managed by teams of at least two (2) alumni that support the themes of promoting good governance, promoting experiential learning to support social cohesion and recovery, fostering social entrepreneurship, and protecting cultural heritage. Proposals with accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion components are highly encouraged. Proposals that do not address the theme as outlined in the program objectives will be deemed ineligible. All project activities must take place outside of the United States and its territories
