Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS BELARUS FY22 01

The Mission Belarus Annual Program Statement is a small-grants funding opportunity run by the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Belarus). It operates as an Annual Program Statement, meaning it lays out the mission's funding priorities and explains how proposals should be submitted and reviewed over the course of the year. The program is built around the Democracy Commission Small Grants mechanism, which embassies use to support practical, targeted initiatives that strengthen open and competitive political systems and advance the protection of human rights.

Funding is aimed at projects that align with three main priority areas. First is the promotion of civil society and association building, which can include efforts that help citizens organize, collaborate, and participate more effectively in public life. Second is support for the free flow of information, including assistance to independent media and work that counters disinformation. Third is the protection of human rights and the promotion of tolerance, with an emphasis on inclusive approaches that defend vulnerable communities and encourage equal treatment and respect.

The types of activities the program expects to support are generally civic, educational, cultural, and capacity-building in nature. Examples include academic or professional lectures, seminars, and speaker programs; artistic and cultural workshops, joint performances, and exhibitions; training and educational programs that strengthen civil society organizations; advocacy and public awareness campaigns; and other professional or academic workshops. The intended participants and audiences include civil society activists, journalists and media professionals, members of minority or disadvantaged groups (explicitly including LGBTQ individuals, women, and groups working on disability rights), and youth and young professionals roughly in the 18 to 35 age range.

The announcement also makes clear what it will not fund. Ineligible activities include construction projects, fundraising campaigns, scientific research, and proposals that duplicate existing programs. In other words, the focus is on implementable programming that produces concrete civic or informational outcomes, rather than capital projects, research-only efforts, or work that simply replicates what is already being done elsewhere.

Applications are assessed using a set of related criteria that are considered together. Reviewers look for a well-developed and feasible program idea, including clear details on how activities will be carried out and a realistic timeline. Proposals need clearly stated goals and objectives, with an approach that is likely to generate meaningful impact. Budget quality matters: applicants should provide a detailed budget justification, demonstrate that costs are reasonable for the planned activities, and show that the budget realistically covers what is needed to achieve results. A strong monitoring and evaluation plan is required, including measurable output and outcome indicators, milestones, and an explanation of when and how progress and results will be tracked. Sustainability is also a factor, meaning proposals should show how benefits will continue after the grant period ends. The agency also notes it will review the risk posed by applicants as part of the award decision process.

The process runs on a rolling review cycle, with applications collected and evaluated approximately every 4 to 6 weeks rather than only once at the end of the period. Eligible applicants include registered not-for-profit organizations such as think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations with relevant programming experience, including groups located in Lithuania or elsewhere in the region, as well as individuals. For-profit or commercial entities are not eligible.

Key administrative details from the listing include the opportunity number PAS BELARUS FY22 01, the activity category of Humanities, and the CFDA number 19.900. The posted award ceiling is $15,000 per award. The original closing date listed is July 31, 2022, though the rolling review language suggests proposals are considered periodically throughout the open period.
