Grant and Funding Opportunities
Public Affairs Section Small Grants Program
The Public Affairs Section of the US Consulate General Jerusalem runs a Small Grants Program designed to assist Palestinian organizations in carrying out programs in several priority areas. These priorities include, but are not limited to:
-
Improving mutual understanding between Palestinians and Americans
-
Improving English language teaching among Palestinians
-
Increasing cultural exchanges between Palestinians and Americans
-
Increasing the capacity of Palestinian Civil Society organizations to work on areas of mutual US-Palestinian interest, such as youth/women’s empowerment and development of an independent media
-
Facilitating Palestinian participation in academic conferences held in the US or run by US institutions
The grants can be awarded in amounts up to a maximum of $5,000. Applications that include cost sharing, creative techniques to reduce costs, and multiple partners will receive favorable treatment. Organizations wishing to submit proposals to the Public Affairs Section should prepare a project description and budget, and submit them by e-mail to Salameh Qafiety at QafietySB@state.gov. Proposals should include the following information:
-
What do you propose to do?
-
Why does this need to be done?
-
How will you do it? Please include details of how the program will be carried out.
-
Who will be the beneficiaries?
-
What is the connection to the US, and why should the Consulate fund it?
-
What is the deadline by which you need a response?
-
How much will this cost? Include a detailed budget, including cost sharing, and steps to reduce potential costs to the minimum.
The Public Affairs Section considers all requests received, and provides a written response. While we encourage organizations to submit proposals, we regret that we cannot fund all requests received. We look forward to hearing from you.
