Please follow all instructions below. All PD programs must include an American element, such as a nexus with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. PD programs should promote communication, engagement, and/or dialogue between the United States and the Dominican public, enhancing people-to-people connections to U.S. society and culture to build goodwill and lasting bonds. Examples of Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program proposals include, but are not limited to: ● Academic and professional lectures, seminars and speaker programs; ● Artistic, sports, and cultural workshops, joint performances and exhibitions; and ● Professional and academic exchanges and programs. Program Objectives: The grantee will craft a proposal including American elements to conduct programs to engage with Dominican audiences to share the U.S. experience on issues related to LGBTQI+ rights and inclusion and best practices developed by similar groups in the United States to advance these goals. After engaging with U.S. peers, participants should have a better understanding of LGBTQI+ rights and inclusion. Participants and Audiences: The intended audience for projects under this notice of funding opportunity should be any of the described below: ● Underserved and at-risk communities, including university students ● Emerging voices, including civil society leaders; ● Established opinion leaders, including cultural and/or academic institution leadership; ● Government officials; ● Non-state actors, such as academic institutions, tourism entities, the media, and others who communicate with the public |
