Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS SVK FY2022 001
The U.S. Embassy Bratislava Public Affairs Section (PAS), part of the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement titled "U.S. Embassy Bratislava PAS Annual Program Statement" (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS SVK FY2022 001). This opportunity is designed to support projects that deepen societal and cultural connections between the United States and Slovakia by highlighting shared democratic values and encouraging practical bilateral cooperation. A core expectation is that every proposal includes a clear American component, meaning applicants should build their project around meaningful collaboration with U.S. individuals, experts, organizations, or institutions in a way that strengthens mutual understanding and long-term U.S.-Slovak ties. The grants are discretionary and issued as grants (not contracts), with activities falling under a broad "Other" category tied to the public diplomacy priorities described in the announcement (CFDA 19.040).
The program is focused on projects that directly advance public diplomacy goals and align with specific priority areas. PAS Bratislava is especially interested in initiatives that support Slovakia's transatlantic orientation and resilience, including efforts to address hybrid threats such as disinformation and challenges related to cyber security. Another major theme is strengthening democratic governance through rule of law programming, anti-corruption efforts, and work that increases transparency and accountability. The Embassy also prioritizes support for independent media and high-quality journalism, along with programs that build media literacy and critical thinking so communities can better recognize manipulation and misinformation. Beyond governance and information integrity, the announcement encourages proposals that promote economic prosperity and energy security and that expand entrepreneurship through U.S. partnerships, including innovative approaches connected to technology and modernization.
In addition to these governance and economic pillars, PAS Bratislava is seeking proposals that contribute to human rights and reinforce a culture of tolerance and inclusion, with attention to minority inclusion and broader social cohesion. The priorities also explicitly include women's empowerment, indicating interest in programs that expand opportunities for women and strengthen their participation in civic, economic, or leadership roles. Finally, the opportunity supports cross-cultural understanding and English language learning, particularly highly specialized English instruction in Slovakia, which can include programs tailored to professional or sector-specific needs when clearly tied to the broader public diplomacy mission and U.S.-Slovak engagement.
Funding is capped at USD 24,999 per award (the award ceiling), and the Embassy anticipated making around 30 awards under this announcement. Eligible applicants include city or township governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), and individuals. The opportunity was posted on November 5, 2021, with an original closing date of July 31, 2022. Overall, this small grants program is best understood as a flexible public diplomacy funding stream for projects that bring Slovak and American partners together around shared priorities such as democratic resilience, transparent governance, trustworthy information ecosystems, inclusive societies, and forward-looking economic and educational cooperation.Apply for PAS SVK FY2022 001
