To protect and promote U.S. security, prosperity, and democratic values and shape an international environment in which all Americans can thrive.
The Democracy Commission Small Grants Program by the U.S. Embassy Belgrade is designed to support a wide range of initiatives in Serbia that align with the U.S. Embassy's mission to bolster democracy and human rights. Projects can vary widely and include activities such as trainings, workshops, educational competitions, summer camps with a focus on inclusive themes like language study and sports, cross-border exchanges, curriculum development, technological innovation efforts like hackathons or app development, performances, and various forms of active engagement exercises like simulations and role-playing. Specifically targeting underserved communities, the grant seeks proposals that demonstrate a clear connection between the empowerment of these communities and the enhancement of the project's goals, ensuring that considerations of racial equity enhance participant experience and project outcomes.
