Opportunity Information: Apply for APP006BIHPD

The Cultural Grants Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (U.S. Embassy) to support cultural programming that highlights the richness and diversity of American culture for audiences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The program is designed to strengthen mutual understanding and encourage ongoing cultural dialogue between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with an emphasis on public-facing activities that help Bosnian communities engage directly with American artistic and cultural expression.

Funding is provided in the form of grants, typically ranging from USD 1,000 to USD 15,000 per award, with a maximum (ceiling) of USD 15,000. Eligible applicants are listed as unrestricted, but the opportunity description indicates that awards are generally made to non-profit organizations and institutions. Supported projects can include a wide variety of arts and culture activities, such as artistic and cultural performances; bringing in American guest speakers, directors, or performers; securing rights to present American works; organizing exhibits; and running workshops or similar educational cultural events. In general, proposals should clearly demonstrate how the activity will advance the program goal of sharing American culture and fostering meaningful cross-cultural exchange.

Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis rather than waiting for a single review cycle, which means proposals may be considered as they are received. Because cultural events often require lead time for planning, logistics, and outreach, applicants are encouraged to submit proposals 3 to 6 months before the intended event or activity date. The funding opportunity is identified as “Cultural Grants Program” (Funding Opportunity Number: APP006BIHPD) under CFDA 19.040, with an original closing date listed as September 15, 2019, and a creation date of March 28, 2019.
