Opportunity Information: Apply for 003 FY2021
The BOLD Action Workshops on Civic Engagement (Funding Opportunity Number 003, FY2021) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically the Embassy's Office of Public Affairs. The program is designed to fund a single organization to plan and deliver two civic engagement workshops for participants in the BOLD (BiH Omladinski Lideri, Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders) network, with the broader aim of strengthening youth-led community involvement and practical civic leadership across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At its core, the opportunity focuses on turning motivated young leaders into more effective civic actors by building concrete, usable skills and then pushing those skills into real-world application. The workshops are expected to do more than provide general lectures on activism or leadership; they are meant to create structured opportunities for active participation and hands-on learning, with a strong emphasis on helping youth leaders develop and implement their own civic projects. In other words, the workshops should guide participants from identifying a community need, to designing a feasible intervention, to planning implementation steps and collaboration strategies that make the project realistic and impactful.
The Embassy outlines a broad set of competency areas that the workshops should cover to prepare participants to succeed in civil society work. These include core project management fundamentals, approaches to designing innovative civic engagement initiatives, and methods for project-based collaboration. The program also stresses the importance of leveraging resources and relationships within the existing BOLD network so that projects are not isolated efforts but are supported through peer connections, shared experience, and potential partnerships. Another key expectation is that the workshops address common barriers to civic participation, particularly apathy and skepticism, by giving young leaders strategies to build trust, communicate value, and mobilize participation even in environments where engagement may be low or public confidence is limited. Finally, the workshops should help participants learn how to work with like-minded individuals and groups to generate broader community momentum and sustain positive change beyond a single activity or event.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a contract) with an award ceiling of $120,000 and an expectation of one award total. The funding falls under CFDA 19.900 and is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity type, as noted in the announcement. The opportunity was posted on January 22, 2021, and had an original closing date of March 2, 2021. Eligibility is listed as "Others," indicating that the detailed eligibility requirements are provided in the full announcement rather than being limited to a standard category like state governments or universities.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as support for a focused, skill-building civic leadership intervention: two structured workshops that strengthen Bosnia and Herzegovina youth leaders' ability to design, plan, collaborate on, and deliver tangible community projects, while also building the confidence and strategies needed to overcome disengagement and inspire constructive local action.Apply for 003 FY2021
