Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PAS SLO 2019 04
The FY 2019 Notice of Funding Opportunity: Cultural Grants Program (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS PAS SLO 2019 04) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Slovenia. It is designed to support cultural and artistic projects that strengthen cooperation, collaboration, and exchange between the United States and Slovenia. The central priority is programming that presents and promotes American values, culture, and/or history to Slovenian audiences, using cultural channels such as art, music, literature, dance, and other creative or cultural media.
This opportunity falls under the Arts funding activity category (referenced under Cultural Affairs in CFDA), with a CFDA number of 19.040. The Embassy is looking for projects that are not only compelling in concept but also well-designed and well-managed, meaning proposals should demonstrate clear planning, strong implementation capacity, and a realistic approach to delivering public-facing cultural impact in Slovenia. While the announcement language is broad, the guiding theme is clear: programs should use cultural expression as a bridge between the United States and Slovenia, with an emphasis on showcasing American cultural content or narratives in ways that resonate with local Slovenian communities.
Eligibility is open to a mix of applicant types, including U.S. and non-U.S. nonprofits (both those with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), private institutions of higher education, and individuals. The funding instrument is a grant, indicating that awards are intended to support proposed project costs aligned with the program goals rather than procure services for the government.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the program lists an award ceiling of $10,000 per award and anticipates making up to 20 awards. The notice was created on June 12, 2019, and the original application deadline was August 12, 2019. Overall, this program supports relatively modest, targeted cultural initiatives that can be executed effectively and that visibly advance U.S.-Slovenia cultural ties through the presentation of American culture, values, and history in Slovenia.Apply for DOS PAS SLO 2019 04
