Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS STG FY22A
The Annual Program Statement - Public Diplomacy Programs with Chile (PAS-STG-FY22A), released by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Embassy in Santiago (Public Affairs Section), is a competitive funding opportunity focused specifically on climate action public diplomacy programming that strengthens cooperation between the United States and Chile. The embassy is looking for projects that help catalyze practical responses to climate change at either the local or national level, with an emphasis on building partnerships and sharing expertise in areas such as climate and environmental resilience, green economic development, and the disproportionate impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities. A core requirement is that every proposal must include a clear U.S. element, meaning a tangible connection to U.S. experts, organizations, or institutions, rather than being solely Chile-based. Another required feature is a multimedia component that documents and shares results in a way that can broaden reach and motivate citizen engagement in climate action.
Funding for this notice totals $200,000 under CFDA 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs) and is authorized under the Smith-Mundt Act using FY2022 public diplomacy funds. Individual awards are expected to fall between $25,000 (minimum) and $100,000 (maximum), with up to roughly eight awards anticipated depending on final award sizes. Projects can run from 9 to 24 months, and proposed activities must be completed within 24 months or less. The embassy notes that it may consider non-competitive continuation funding beyond the initial period if funds are available and performance is strong, but that is not guaranteed. Awards may be issued as grants, fixed amount awards, or cooperative agreements; cooperative agreements differ from standard grants because the embassy can play a more active role during implementation, such as collaborating on execution, approving phases before moving forward, reviewing substantive subawards or contracts, or approving parts of the work plan or budget.
The types of projects the embassy is signaling interest in are public-facing, collaboration-driven programs that connect U.S. and Chilean counterparts and leave behind lasting relationships, replicable models, or sustained activity. Examples cited include speaking tours or roundtable discussions led by U.S. experts, initiatives that create longer-term student or academic collaboration between U.S. and Chilean institutions (including universities, technical schools, and community colleges), joint U.S.-Chile conferences or convenings (virtual or in person) that share best practices with diverse Chilean audiences, and projects that highlight successful U.S. or Chilean approaches that could be adapted in other contexts. The notice also explicitly encourages creative approaches that use social media, virtual engagement, and other digital strategies to expand impact beyond direct participants.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at non-commercial actors in the United States and Chile. The Public Affairs Section encourages applications from registered non-profit organizations (including civil society groups, NGOs, and think tanks with relevant programming experience), individuals, and educational institutions that are non-profit or governmental in nature; the text also references governmental institutions as eligible in the eligibility section, while elsewhere it clarifies that government agencies are not eligible to receive funding, so applicants typically need to read the full announcement carefully and, if necessary, confirm eligibility through the embassy grants office. For-profit or commercial entities are clearly ineligible. In selecting proposals, the embassy indicates a preference for applicants with a demonstrated track record delivering strong events, exchanges, and programs, for proposals that show sustainability of results beyond the award period, and for projects that incorporate inclusion and equity in concrete ways. Priority considerations include gender parity among participants and meaningful engagement with underserved communities, explicitly naming groups such as immigrants, women, LGBTI individuals, people with disabilities, indigenous communities, and racial minorities, as well as projects that involve participants outside the capital region (regions beyond Santiago).
The NOFO also draws clear boundaries around what it will not fund. Ineligible activities include partisan political programming, charitable or social welfare projects framed primarily as aid or development, construction, religious activities, fundraising campaigns, lobbying for specific legislation, and scientific research. It also excludes proposals that mainly serve the applicant organizations institutional growth, investments that primarily benefit a small number of private beneficiaries, English-language scholarships outside official State Department English programs, exchanges involving countries other than the United States and Chile, programs focused primarily on children under 16, and projects that duplicate existing programs. In other words, the embassy is looking for public diplomacy style programming that is collaborative, educational, and engagement-oriented, not direct service delivery, political advocacy, or stand-alone research.
Applications were accepted on a rolling basis up to the stated deadline of June 1, 2022, with the important caveat that proposals could be reviewed as they arrived and funding could be exhausted before the deadline. Because of that structure, the opportunity strongly favored early submission. The anticipated program start window was March through September 2022, subject to funding availability.
