Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS AR200 FY22 0001
The U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires, through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State, offers a Public Diplomacy Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement titled "U.S. Embassy Buenos Aires PAS Annual Program Statement" (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS AR200 FY22 0001; CFDA 19.040). The program is designed to fund small grants that advance U.S. public diplomacy goals in Argentina, especially projects that strengthen U.S.-Argentina ties and expand mutual understanding between people and institutions in both countries. Applications were accepted on a rolling basis, with submissions noted as open until May 31, 2022 (the source data also lists an original closing date of September 30, 2022). The maximum award amount listed is up to $100,000.
The central purpose of this opportunity is to support Argentine-led initiatives that build collaboration and people-to-people connections with the United States while addressing public-interest themes. PAS is looking for proposals that create new opportunities for citizen engagement, encourage the exchange of best practices, and support academic, cultural, and educational programming that contributes to prosperity, security, and democratic resilience. In practical terms, the Embassy is seeking projects that can demonstrate clear outcomes, meaningful engagement with target audiences, and alignment with one or more of PAS priority themes.
The opportunity organizes its funding priorities into three broad strategic areas. The first is promoting shared U.S.-Argentina values, including projects that highlight U.S. culture (such as music, history, sports, education, tourism, and English language-related programming) and initiatives like workshops, speaker programs, or other exchanges that deepen mutual understanding. This category also strongly emphasizes educational exchange and partnerships, with particular interest in STEM-related activities aimed at Argentine youth. The second area is strengthening prosperity, which covers proposals that encourage economic growth and a better business climate, entrepreneurship and innovation, corporate social responsibility, and awareness of or support for intellectual property rights protection. It also includes social development programs that reduce inequality, especially for marginalized communities and especially outside the City of Buenos Aires, as well as projects tied to sustainability such as agriculture, energy and water management, environmental protection, and wildlife conservation. The third area focuses on reinforcing democracy, freedom, and transparency through programs that promote good governance, open data, and stronger, more transparent and independent democratic institutions. It also supports work related to human rights, racial and ethnic equality, gender equality and womens empowerment, diversity and inclusion, and initiatives that strengthen press freedom and investigative journalism as a tool for transparency and accountability.
Within those broader themes, PAS highlights several priority program areas that appear to be especially competitive: improving STEM and English education in Argentina; reinforcing journalistic standards to counter disinformation while supporting freedom of information; and encouraging inclusion and diversity by engaging marginalized populations, women, at-risk youth, and minority communities to reduce economic inequality. The Embassy provides examples of the types of projects it has supported in the past, such as speaking tours or roundtables led by U.S. experts in Argentina, joint U.S.-Argentina conferences that produce concrete advances or results, programs that expand activities in PAS-supported American Spaces, and projects that showcase U.S. models or curricula. Other examples include alumni engagement initiatives that keep former exchange participants connected, as well as creative programs that advance one or more priority areas, including community engagement or student programs focused on entrepreneurship and STEM education.
The program also defines who it most wants to reach. Priority audiences include emerging voices such as civil society leaders, business leaders and entrepreneurs, established opinion leaders including leaders of cultural and academic institutions, and residents in Argentine provinces outside Buenos Aires City. This emphasis signals that proposals with strong regional reach, credible local partners, and plans to engage influential or rising leaders may be viewed favorably, particularly when they broaden access beyond the capital.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at Argentine academic, cultural, educational, and other nonprofit organizations, as well as Argentine individuals, as long as their proposed activities align with Embassy objectives. At the same time, PAS is clear about what it generally does not fund. Proposals are typically not approved if they function mainly as investments benefiting only one or a few private parties, or if they are essentially scholarships for English study, conference attendance, or study tours to the United States. The program also avoids projects that are inherently political or appear partisan or connected to electoral campaigns. In addition, PAS generally does not support projects whose main purpose is publishing books, pamphlets, websites, or applications; projects that are exclusively scientific research; projects that require more than two years to implement; or budgets centered on buying equipment, vehicles, construction, or construction materials. It also excludes exchange programs involving countries beyond the United States and Argentina, programs for children under 13, and projects supporting specific religious activities.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as flexible public diplomacy funding for Argentine applicants with practical, outcome-oriented proposals that connect Argentine communities and institutions with U.S. expertise, culture, and values, while advancing shared goals in education (especially STEM and English), inclusive economic opportunity, democratic governance, human rights, and a stronger information environment.Apply for PAS AR200 FY22 0001
