U.S. Embassy Nassau Public Affairs Small Grant Application

Fri, Aug 1st 2014, 05:19 PM

The Public Affairs Section has a small grants program designed to assist Bahamian organizations in carrying out programs directly related to increasing the capacity of Bahamian civil society to work in areas of mutual interest such as, youth leadership development, education, women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship, economic development, cultural exchange, and civic activism.

Strong proposals engage and inspire underserved Bahamian youth to be positive forces of change in their community; cultivate skill development; foster a sense of community among Bahamians; and help improve the bilateral relationship between The Bahamas and The United States of America. Applicants are encouraged to consider creative, original, and innovative activities designed to inspire and engage the Bahamian community.

Special consideration will be given to proposals that target youth populations throughout The Bahamas and use mass media and technology (i.e. broadcast, print, and/or social media).

The majority of these small grants are US$5,000 or less.
