Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS HAN HCMC FY24

The U.S. Mission Vietnam Public Affairs Section (PAS), part of the U.S. Department of State, is offering grant funding through its Public Diplomacy Grants Program under the Annual Program Statement titled "U.S. Mission Vietnam PAS Annual Program Statement" (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS HAN HCMC FY24). This opportunity supports public diplomacy projects designed to deepen relationships between the United States and Vietnam by emphasizing shared values and expanding practical cooperation in priority sectors. Awards are made using a federal grant assistance instrument, and the funding is specifically not intended for service contracts or service agreements.

PAS is looking for proposals that deliver clear, measurable public impact in Vietnam and help build long-term connections between the United States and Vietnam’s emerging leaders. Priority themes include cultural exchange and the creative economy, digital policy, STEM education and workforce development, environmental issues, clean energy, rule of law, and health security. Proposals that focus on cultural collaboration, especially efforts that help develop Vietnam’s cultural economy, are also welcomed. A core expectation is that each project includes a meaningful American element, such as U.S. cultural content, alignment with U.S. policy perspectives, or direct collaboration with American experts, organizations, or institutions that can credibly contribute to the topic area and strengthen mutual understanding.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but timing matters because of fiscal year constraints. An intermediate deadline of June 16, 2024 is highlighted to allow enough time for review and processing before the U.S. government fiscal year ends on September 30, 2024. The listed original closing date is June 19, 2024, so applicants should plan for submission well in advance of those dates to avoid missing the window for consideration and award processing.

Eligibility is limited to organizational applicants. PAS encourages submissions from both the United States and Vietnam, but applicants must be non-commercial entities. Eligible applicants include registered not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society/NGOs with relevant programming experience), non-profit or governmental educational institutions, and governmental institutions. For-profit or commercial entities are not eligible, and individuals are not eligible to apply.
