Opportunity Information: Apply for BRAZIL PAS FY21 03
The Belo Horizonte Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number: BRAZIL PAS FY21 03) is a small-grants opportunity run by the U.S. Mission to Brazil through the U.S. Embassy Branch Office in Belo Horizonte, using FY 2021 Public Diplomacy funding under the Smith-Mundt Act and the Fulbright Hays Act. It is a discretionary program and is limited in scope to projects that take place in, and primarily benefit audiences in, the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Proposals focused on other parts of Brazil are not eligible under this specific announcement, though similar opportunities may exist through the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia or other U.S. Consulates in Brazil.
Funding is relatively modest, with the Branch Office expecting awards in the range of USD 5,000 to USD 20,000, and it explicitly notes that awards depend on the availability of funds and that there is no guarantee any funds will be awarded. The official closing date listed is June 1, 2021, and the program is listed under CFDA 19.040. U.S. organizations can apply either on their own or in partnership with a Brazilian organization, as long as the work is centered in Minas Gerais.
Because the announcement was issued during the COVID-19 period, applicants are expected to build flexibility into their program design. Proposals should include a credible virtual programming option and be executable as in-person, hybrid, or fully virtual activities depending on public health restrictions at the time of implementation. Applicants are allowed to reflect these scenario-based approaches in the budget, which signals the reviewers want realistic planning rather than a single rigid delivery model.
The Branch Office is looking for projects in five priority areas. In Education, it seeks programs that connect U.S. and Minas Gerais higher education institutions, strengthen the internationalization of higher education in Minas Gerais, and encourage study in the United States. In Environmental Cooperation, it prioritizes initiatives that bring together U.S. and Brazilian experts and/or students to address environmental and climate change challenges. Under Social Issues, it supports work that advances human rights, diversity, and inclusion. In Economic Growth, it funds activities tied to bilateral trade, entrepreneurship, innovation, and women’s economic empowerment. For Cultural Diplomacy, it welcomes efforts that highlight U.S. culture through areas like culinary traditions, music, art, film, sports, literature, and related cultural expressions.
Typical fundable activities are practical, public-facing public diplomacy programs rather than long-term service delivery. Examples include academic or professional lectures and speaker programs, seminars, and workshops; interactive programming that encourages entrepreneurship and expands economic opportunities; youth community service projects (for participants above age 14) that promote democratic processes, social entrepreneurship, or civic engagement; professional or academic exchanges and similar structured programs; and artistic or cultural initiatives such as joint performances or exhibitions featuring American artists or American subject matter.
The announcement also draws clear boundaries around what is usually not supported. It generally does not fund social welfare projects, efforts to finish or “top off” activities already started with other funding, or projects that are political in nature or appear partisan (including anything that could be read as supporting a candidate, party, or electoral campaign). It typically excludes international travel unless it is specifically justified as essential to the project. It also does not support citizen exchange programs involving other foreign countries, political party activities, scientific research, construction, or projects that support specific religious activities.
The intended participants and target audiences are youth (ages 14 and up) and adults located anywhere in Minas Gerais. A strong emphasis is placed on reaching audiences that are geographically, demographically, and socio-economically diverse across the state, so proposals that go beyond the usual major urban centers or that include underserved communities would align well with the stated outreach goals.
Eligible applicants include registered nonprofit organizations (including think tanks and NGOs/civil society organizations), educational institutions, governmental institutions, and U.S. Department of State alumni applying as individuals. Ineligible applicants include for-profit commercial firms, as well as employees of the U.S. Embassy and Consulates and their family members.Apply for BRAZIL PAS FY21 03
