Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS SEC FY23 01
The U.S. Embassy in Quito and the U.S. Consulate in Guayaquil, through their Public Affairs Sections (PAS) and under the U.S. Department of State, are offering grant funding through the Public Diplomacy Federal Awards Program to support projects that deepen ties between the United States and Ecuador. This opportunity is structured as an open competition, meaning applicants propose their own program concepts as long as they align with the outlined priorities. The focus is on public diplomacy work, especially cultural and exchange-style programming that highlights shared values, strengthens bilateral cooperation, and builds greater understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives among Ecuadorian audiences.
A core requirement is that every proposed project must include a clear U.S. cultural element or a substantive connection to the United States. In practical terms, that means the program should involve U.S. experts, partner organizations, institutions, or other credible U.S. linkages connected to the project topic. The intent is not simply to fund local programming, but to fund initiatives that actively create people-to-people or institution-to-institution engagement between Ecuador and the United States, using that engagement to support mutual understanding and collaboration.
Applicants are expected to design projects that advance at least one of the strategic outcomes listed in the notice. The first priority area is advancing and defending democratic principles and human rights. Programs under this theme might focus on strengthening democratic institutions, promoting democratic values and universal freedoms, and encouraging equal rights, social inclusion, and respect for human dignity, with particular attention to marginalized communities. The second priority is promoting mutual, inclusive, and sustainable economic prosperity, with an emphasis on expanding equal access to economic opportunities for groups that face barriers to full economic participation. The third priority is strengthening bilateral and multilateral partnerships to address global challenges, including climate change, specifically through environmental priorities such as biodiversity conservation, protection of vital ecosystems, and efforts to address climate-related risks and impacts.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and is categorized under “Other” for the activity area, reflecting the broad range of eligible public diplomacy programming. The opportunity is identified as “U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador - Public Affairs Section - Notice of Funding Opportunity” with the funding opportunity number PAS SEC FY23 01 and CFDA number 19.040. The issuing agency is the U.S. Mission to Ecuador. The announcement was created on January 30, 2023, and the original closing date for submissions was April 14, 2023. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $45,000, indicating that proposals should be budgeted within that cap.
Eligible applicants include a range of higher education and nonprofit entities. Specifically, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education may apply, along with nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). Overall, the grant is aimed at organizations that can plan and deliver credible programs with measurable public diplomacy outcomes, demonstrate meaningful U.S.-Ecuador collaboration, and clearly connect their activities to one or more of the strategic themes of democracy and human rights, inclusive economic opportunity, and environmental and climate priorities.Apply for PAS SEC FY23 01
