Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0002292
The Department of State, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (EAP) offered this discretionary funding opportunity (SFOP0002292) to select a single U.S. nonprofit organization to serve as the U.S. implementing partner for the U.S.-China Youth Forum on Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Economic Opportunities. The project was designed as a two-day forum, projected to be held in Shenzhen, China in early December 2017, with the United States hosted by EAP and China hosted by the All-China Youth Federation (ACYF). The overall purpose was to bring together youth-focused stakeholders around entrepreneurship, innovation, and broader economic opportunity themes, using a structured, short-duration forum format intended to support dialogue and practical engagement between U.S. and Chinese participants.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected organization would not simply receive funds to run the event independently, but would be expected to work closely with EAP throughout planning and implementation. The core responsibilities for the U.S. implementing partner centered on coordination and execution: collaborating with EAP, ACYF, and ACYF's implementing partner(s) to identify and select participants, and then organizing and delivering the forum itself. In practical terms, this implies the grantee would handle the operational backbone of the program, such as aligning agendas and session content with the hosts, managing participant outreach and selection processes, and ensuring the logistics and programming details required for a successful convening in Shenzhen.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding activity category was listed under Business and Commerce, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 19.040. The opportunity anticipated one award with an award ceiling of $250,000, indicating a single organization would be chosen to implement the full U.S. side of the forum rather than splitting responsibilities among multiple grantees.
Key dates show the opportunity was created on August 4, 2017, with an original application closing date of September 5, 2017. With the forum projected for early December 2017, the timeline suggests a relatively fast ramp-up period between award selection and on-the-ground implementation, which would favor applicants with demonstrated capacity to quickly coordinate international partners, recruit appropriate participants, and execute an event on a compressed schedule.
In short, this grant supported the selection of one experienced U.S. nonprofit to partner directly with the State Department and Chinese counterparts to plan and deliver a U.S.-China youth entrepreneurship and innovation forum in Shenzhen, with the grantee responsible for participant identification and end-to-end forum organization under a cooperative, jointly managed implementation model.Apply for SFOP0002292
