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

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.

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.
