Opportunity Information: Apply for TR NOFO FY24 01

The U.S. Mission Turkiye Public Diplomacy Grants Program (Annual Program Statement, opportunity number TR NOFO FY24 01) is a discretionary grant funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. The program supports arts, education, and humanities projects designed to strengthen relationships between the United States and Turkiye. At its core, the opportunity is aimed at cultural and educational programming that highlights shared values, encourages mutual understanding, and builds practical cooperation between the two countries.

Projects proposed under this announcement are expected to have a clear U.S. cultural component or an explicit connection to the United States. That requirement can be met in several ways, such as involving American experts, partnering with U.S.-based organizations or institutions, or incorporating U.S. perspectives and content in a way that helps audiences better understand U.S. policies and viewpoints. The intent is not just general exchange, but programming that meaningfully links participants to American experience, expertise, or institutions and results in deeper understanding and stronger bilateral ties.

The Mission lists five priority program areas that proposals should align with. These include shared security, which can cover cooperation and dialogue on issues affecting both countries. They also include economic prosperity and promoting innovation, pointing to activities that encourage entrepreneurship, economic collaboration, and forward-looking solutions. Democratic values are another focus area, suggesting interest in programming that supports civic engagement, rule of law-related discussions, media literacy, pluralism, or other democracy-adjacent themes. In addition, the Mission prioritizes Turkish and U.S. cultural ties, which may involve cultural heritage, arts programming, cultural exchanges, or initiatives that spotlight connections between the two societies. Finally, Turkish and U.S. ties through education is a dedicated theme, indicating support for educational exchanges, academic collaboration, skills development, or programming that links educators, students, and institutions across both countries.

Eligibility is relatively broad for a public diplomacy grant program. Applications may be submitted by nonprofits with or without U.S. 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), private institutions of higher education, and individuals. The opportunity is administered as a grant, and the listed award ceiling is $35,000 per award. The original closing date for the referenced cycle is May 3, 2024, and the announcement was created on October 31, 2023.
