Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund

The U.S. Department of State and Partners of the Americas has an emergency Rapid Response grant program for U.S. citizens who are former or current participants of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government-facilitated exchange programs. This grant helps alumni implement projects that bolster democratic principles and meet newly-arisen needs in the wake of the pandemic. The competition provides grants of up to $10,000 to teams of U.S. citizen alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to carry out public service projects using the skills and knowledge they gained during their exchange experiences.
