The Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs leads Department efforts to expand and strengthen the relationships between the people of the United States and citizens of other countries.
The Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program, as outlined by the U.S. Embassy's Annual Program Statement, seeks to fund projects that promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. These programs should include an American element, priority, goal, or a connection with U.S. expert(s), organization(s), or institution(s) in a specific field. Applicants are encouraged to partner with English Clubs, American Spaces, or U.S. exchange program alumni to conduct these activities.
