Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS STOCKHOLM FY22 AICHI
The Arctic Indigenous Cultural Heritage Initiative (AICHI) is a U.S. Department of State cultural heritage grant program launched in 2021 by the Cultural Heritage Center (CHC) within the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), in coordination with the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (EUR) and the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA). Its purpose is to support Arctic Indigenous communities in protecting, preserving, and perpetuating both tangible cultural heritage (such as objects, collections, artifacts, historic items, and other physical heritage) and intangible cultural heritage (such as language, oral traditions, knowledge systems, practices, and other living forms of heritage). A central theme of the initiative is reinforcing cultural continuity within Indigenous communities while also strengthening practical cooperation and mutual understanding with partners in the United States.
For this specific competition, the U.S. Embassy in Sweden is soliciting project proposals focused on cultural heritage protection, preservation, and perpetuation. Beyond heritage outcomes, the Embassy emphasizes projects that build people-to-people relationships and expand cooperation between the United States and Arctic Indigenous communities across related areas like education, culture, and the environment. The opportunity is structured as an open competition in which organizations submit applications to participating U.S. embassies in their country, with Stockholm serving as the point of contact for Sweden-based submissions.
Awards are expected to range from USD 10,000 to USD 50,000, with the number of awards varying depending on the quality and volume of applications; the posting indicates an expectation of one award for this particular notice. Projects must be designed to run for a relatively short period, with a performance window of 1 to 12 months, and proposed programs are expected to be completed in 12 months or less. Funding is identified as Fiscal Year 2022 ECA funding under CFDA 19.036, and the notice notes that awards depend on the availability of funds. Depending on how the project is structured and the level of involvement required by the U.S. government, the funding instrument may be issued as a grant, a cooperative agreement, or a fixed amount award.
The Embassy also signals the possibility of non-competitive continuation funding beyond the initial budget period for projects originally funded under these awards, but only if funding remains available, performance is satisfactory, and the Department of State determines continued support serves U.S. interests. In other words, strong results and clear progress during the initial period could position a project for extended support, though continuation is not guaranteed.
Geographically, AICHI prioritizes Arctic-context countries and communities, specifically listing Canada, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The intended participants and audiences are Indigenous communities and organizations that work closely with them, including museums, governmental institutions, non-governmental organizations, and other Indigenous-focused entities. The legal authority for the program is tied to the Smith-Mundt Act and the Fulbright-Hays Act, which underpin many U.S. public diplomacy and educational and cultural exchange activities.
Applications for the Sweden competition are submitted by using the required files provided in the opportunity materials (referenced as being on the "Related Documents" tab) and emailing the completed package to StockholmSmallGrants@state.gov. The original opportunity record lists a creation date of May 27, 2022, and an original closing date of June 15, 2022, under the opportunity number PAS STOCKHOLM FY22 AICHI, issued by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Sweden.Apply for PAS STOCKHOLM FY22 AICHI
