This is an Annual Program Statement, outlining our funding priorities, the strategic themes we focus on, and the procedures for submitting requests for funding. Please carefully follow all instructions below.

     

    Purpose of Small Grants: PDS invites proposals for programs that strengthen cultural ties between the U.S. and Gabon through cultural and exchange programming that highlights shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.

     

    Examples of PDS Small Grants Program programs include, but are not limited to:

    ·        Academic and professional lectures, seminars and speaker programs;

    ·        Artistic and cultural workshops, joint performances and exhibitions;

    ·        Cultural heritage conservation and preservation programs;

    ·        Professional and academic exchanges and programs;

    Priority Program Areas:

    ·        Enhance Capacity to Preserve the Environment and Biodiversity to Counter the Effects of Climate Change

    ·        Deepen U.S. – Gabon People-to-People Ties

    o  Programs that seek to explain U.S. policies, culture, and values to Gabonese audiences

    ·        Increase Civic Engagement in Gabonese Society

      

    The following types of programs are not eligible for funding:

    ·                             Programs relating to partisan political activity;

    ·                             Charitable or development activities;

    ·                             Fund-raising campaigns;

    ·                             Lobbying for specific legislation or programs

    ·                             Scientific research;

    ·                             Programs intended primarily for the growth or institutional development of the organization; or
