Opportunity Information: Apply for HKG NOFO FY18 002
The U.S. Consulate General Hong Kong and Macau, through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State, offered this grant opportunity as part of its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program to support programs connected to the Consulate's 175th anniversary. The funding is intended for projects that advance public diplomacy and community-oriented engagement in Hong Kong and Macau, aligning with PAS priorities and areas of interest. The announcement also notes that this notice functions as an umbrella overview and may be supplemented by additional, more specific related funding notices posted on Grants.gov or other relevant platforms, so applicants were expected to follow the instructions in this notice as well as any associated postings.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant under Funding Opportunity Number HKG NOFO FY18 002, administered by the Department of State (U.S. Mission to China). It falls under the funding activity category of Community Development and is associated with CFDA number 19.040. The notice was created on April 20, 2018, with an original application closing date of July 31, 2018, indicating a defined submission window for proposals tied to the anniversary programming timeframe.
In terms of who could apply, eligibility included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they were not institutions of higher education), and additional applicants described more generally as "Others" with clarification to be provided in the opportunity's eligibility text. In practice, this structure suggests PAS intended to keep the applicant pool relatively broad and flexible, allowing a range of civic, cultural, or community-based organizations to propose activities that fit public diplomacy goals, while still reserving the right to define or limit eligibility details in the full notice.
The award structure reflects a small grants format. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $20,000, and the Consulate anticipated making around 10 awards. This points to modestly sized, project-based grants suitable for discrete events, short program series, workshops, exchanges, speaker programs, cultural or educational initiatives, or other community engagement efforts that could reasonably be executed within a limited budget and demonstrate clear public diplomacy value tied to the 175th anniversary theme.
Finally, the notice emphasizes process and compliance: any organization interested in applying needed to carefully follow all stated instructions, including submission procedures and any requirements appearing in related or subsequent announcements. The overall message is that PAS was inviting proposals for anniversary-related public diplomacy programming, with clear caps on funding, a limited number of expected awards, and standard federal grant application expectations regarding adherence to guidelines and deadlines.Apply for HKG NOFO FY18 002
