Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS SANTODOMINGO FY22 01
The U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS) and the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement. The overall goal is to support projects that deepen cultural, educational, professional, and scientific ties between the United States and the Dominican Republic. Proposals are expected to use cultural, professional, and exchange-style programming to highlight shared values, encourage mutual understanding, and strengthen bilateral cooperation. A core requirement is that every funded project include a clear American cultural element or a concrete connection to U.S. experts, organizations, or institutions in a relevant field, with the intention of improving understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.
The opportunity is designed to fund public diplomacy activities rather than traditional development aid. Examples of the types of activities the Embassy is interested in include academic and professional lectures, seminars, and speaker series; artistic and cultural workshops along with joint performances or exhibitions; cultural heritage conservation and preservation efforts; and professional or academic exchanges. While these examples are not exhaustive, they illustrate the preference for programs that create direct engagement, learning, and collaboration between Dominican and American partners.
Competitive proposals should align with the Embassy Mission's priority goal areas. These priorities center on supporting a more inclusive Dominican Republic with strong institutions that can resist authoritarian tendencies, advancing a secure and healthy Dominican Republic that supports U.S. security interests, and promoting an economically stable Dominican Republic that remains a strong commercial partner of the United States. Within those broad goals, PAS indicates it may support projects focused on human rights and empowerment for women and youth, including efforts to counter gender-based violence and increase diversity, accessibility, inclusion, and acceptance of underserved groups. The statement also highlights interest in initiatives that expand faculty and student exchange and research partnerships between U.S. and Dominican higher education institutions, encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, strengthen civil society organizations through empowerment and capacity building, increase English teaching capacity, support transparency and ethics in government, and foster collaboration in investigative journalism.
The intended participants and target audiences are wide-ranging but clearly emphasize influence, inclusion, and youth impact. Priority audiences include underserved and at-risk youth ages 13 to 25 (including students), emerging leaders, teachers, civil society leaders, young entrepreneurs, and established opinion leaders such as leaders of professional, cultural, and academic institutions. Government officials and non-state actors with public reach, including academic institutions, tourism entities, and media organizations, are also included. There is a specific interest in reaching residents outside Santo Domingo and urban youth from at-risk communities, signaling a preference for projects with geographic reach beyond the capital and tangible engagement with vulnerable populations.
Certain activities are explicitly ineligible, which helps define the boundaries of what PAS will and will not fund. The Embassy will not support partisan political activity, charitable or general development work, construction projects, programming that advances specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, lobbying tied to particular legislation or government programs, or scientific research as a primary purpose. PAS also excludes proposals aimed mainly at the applicant organization's own institutional growth rather than public-facing impact, and projects that simply duplicate existing programs. In practical terms, applicants need to show that their project is nonpartisan, diplomacy-focused, publicly beneficial, distinct from ongoing efforts, and built around meaningful U.S.-Dominican exchange or collaboration.
