Opportunity Information: Apply for AH2018
The "Ukraine: America House Kyiv Program" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AH2018) is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Ukraine cooperative agreement designed to support the ongoing operation and programming of America House Kyiv, the U.S. Embassy's flagship public venue for cultural engagement and outreach in Ukraine. America House Kyiv functions as a modern, welcoming, technology-forward space where Ukrainians can engage with U.S. ideas and people through open discussion, debate, cultural programming, and professional development activities. The overall purpose is to advance U.S. public diplomacy by strengthening cultural connections, encouraging dialogue on important issues, and promoting creativity, innovation, and collaboration grounded in shared Ukrainian and American values.
Under this cooperative agreement, the selected recipient organization is expected to take day-to-day responsibility for staffing and operating America House Kyiv while working closely with the U.S. Embassy's Public Affairs Section. A major part of the work involves managing a local Ukrainian team with strong capabilities in program design, event planning, and operational execution. The recipient must also handle practical operational needs, including purchasing, maintaining, and keeping up-to-date the technology, materials, and supplies required to run the space and deliver programming effectively. A key emphasis is sustaining engagement not only with in-person visitors but also with remote audiences, meaning the venue's technology and program formats should be able to support hybrid or distance participation as needed.
Programming expectations are central to the award. The recipient must develop a flexible, dynamic monthly calendar of activities that attracts Ukrainian audiences, encourages repeat attendance, and keeps the venue relevant and lively. These activities are meant to create consistent interaction with visitors and build an ongoing community around America House Kyiv. While the recipient will implement staffing plans and program schedules, the Embassy maintains an active role: decisions related to staffing and program content are to be made in consultation with the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, which is a defining feature of the cooperative agreement model where substantial involvement by the U.S. government is anticipated throughout the project.
In terms of eligibility and funding details, applicants must be nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status in the United States (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with an award ceiling of $450,000 and an expectation of one award.
