Public Affairs Section Small Grants Program

The Public Affairs Section of the US Consulate General Jerusalem runs a Small Grants Program designed to assist Palestinian organizations in carrying out programs in several priority areas. These priorities include, but are not limited to:

• Improving mutual understanding between Palestinians and Americans
• Improving English language teaching among Palestinians
• Increasing cultural exchanges between Palestinians and Americans
• Increasing the capacity of Palestinian Civil Society organizations to work on areas of mutual US-Palestinian interest, such as youth/women’s empowerment and development of an independent media
• Facilitating Palestinian participation in academic conferences held in the US or run by US institutions

The grants can be awarded in amounts up to a maximum of $20,000.  100.00 percent of eligible applicants live outside of the United States. Applications that include cost sharing, creative techniques to reduce costs, and multiple partners will receive favorable treatment. Organizations wishing to submit proposals to the Public Affairs Section should fill out the forms, by clicking the links under Grants Forms on the right side of this page, and submit them by e-mail to Salameh Qafiety at QafietySB@state.gov.

The Public Affairs Section considers all requests received, and provides a written response. While we encourage organizations to submit proposals, we regret that we cannot fund all requests received. We look forward to hearing from you.  

The deadline for submission of grant proposals for the next cycle is April 26, 2013. Arabic proposals will not be considered, please submit your proposal in English.
