The U.S. Consulate General in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is offering funding opportunities through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program to enhance ties between the United States and Saudi Arabia. The grants aim to support projects that emphasize shared values, strengthen connections between people, and encourage collaboration between the two countries.
The goals and objectives of the program include strengthening cultural and educational relationships, promoting economic empowerment and entrepreneurship (especially for women and youth), preserving cultural heritage, enhancing media literacy and countering misinformation, and supporting the Saudi film industry through training and collaboration with U.S. filmmakers.
Grant proposals should focus on priority areas such as education, creative economy, preserving cultural heritage, women and youth empowerment, strategic communication, countering misinformation, and entrepreneurship. The grant amounts range from $10,000 to $50,000, with a performance period of 9-18 months.
The target audience for the grants includes youth, first-generation university students, alumni of U.S. exchange programs, women, disabled individuals, minority groups, educators, media practitioners, policymakers, civil society organizations, and entrepreneurs.
Eligible organizations for funding include not-for-profit organizations, educational institutions, governmental institutions, and individuals on a case-by-case basis. However, programs involving partisan political activity, charitable or development activities, construction projects, specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, lobbying, or scientific research are not eligible for funding.
