Opportunity Information: Apply for BRAZIL PAS FY21 01
The POA Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number: BRAZIL PAS FY21 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General in Porto Alegre, Brazil. It lays out the consulate's program priorities and themes for the year and explains how to submit proposals for funding. The overall purpose is to support projects that strengthen ties between the United States and Brazil through cultural, educational, and exchange-focused activities that emphasize shared values and encourage practical bilateral cooperation.
A key requirement is geographic: proposals must focus exclusively on the Porto Alegre Consular District, meaning the projects need to take place in, or be clearly centered on, the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Activities aimed primarily at other parts of Brazil are not eligible under this program statement. Within that regional scope, the consulate is looking for programs that connect people and institutions, build mutual understanding, and use culture, education, and exchanges as tools to deepen U.S.-Brazil engagement.
Eligibility is broad for mission-aligned applicants. The consulate encourages submissions from organized civil society organizations and local civil society representatives, as well as think tanks, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and individuals. U.S. entities are eligible as applicants, either applying on their own or partnering with a Brazilian organization, as long as the project focus remains within the two eligible states. At the same time, certain applicants are explicitly excluded: for-profit or commercial firms cannot apply, and neither can employees of the U.S. Consulate General in Porto Alegre or their family members.
Funding is relatively small and competitive, and it depends on available funds. The consulate anticipates making awards in the range of USD 2,000 to USD 20,000, with a stated maximum (award ceiling) of USD 20,000. There is no promise that any awards will be made under this announcement, even if proposals are submitted, since all funding decisions are contingent on resources and the consulate's priorities for the year. The original closing date listed for this cycle was August 1, 2021. The opportunity is administered under CFDA 19.040 and is issued by the U.S. Mission to Brazil.Apply for BRAZIL PAS FY21 01
