Opportunity Information: Apply for SMK800 25 PAS002
The Alumni Outreach Program FY2025 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Mission to North Macedonia through its Public Diplomacy Section (PDS). It is designed to broaden and strengthen engagement with alumni of U.S. government-funded exchange programs by supporting practical, community-focused initiatives led by alumni associations and other eligible nonprofit groups. The core idea is to help alumni turn what they learned during their exchange experiences into real projects that create visible local impact and continue beyond the grant period.
The program emphasizes small, one-time grants meant to help alumni launch sustainable initiatives with clear, measurable goals. Projects are expected to benefit local communities in North Macedonia and should be grounded in skills, knowledge, or approaches alumni gained in the United States. Proposals should also clearly connect the planned activities to themes from the alumni participants exchange programs, showing how those themes will be applied locally and shared with others. In other words, the grant is not just for general community work; it is meant to translate exchange-program learning into broader public benefit.
In terms of priorities, the program gives preference to projects that encourage activism and civic engagement in areas such as community service, democratic advancement, and economic reform. Competitive proposals will typically show a strong public-value rationale, a plan for involving or mobilizing community members, and a realistic way to track results (for example, defined outputs and outcomes, timelines, and indicators that demonstrate progress).
Eligibility is limited to not-for-profit entities in North Macedonia, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations. A key requirement is that each project team must include at least two alumni of a U.S. government-funded exchange program. Teams can include alumni from different exchange programs, and alumni who are U.S. citizens are allowed to participate as team members, which can help broaden expertise and networks as long as the project remains focused on benefiting citizens of North Macedonia.
Administratively, the opportunity uses the grant instrument and is categorized under CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.900, with the funding opportunity number SMK800 25 PAS002. The application deadline listed is February 14, 2025. The award ceiling is $80,000, and the agency anticipates making around two awards, meaning competition is likely to be selective and proposals should be especially clear about impact, feasibility, and long-term sustainability.Apply for SMK800 25 PAS002
