Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS DAR 2019
The Annual Program Statement for Public Diplomacy (APS), funding opportunity number DOS DAR 2019, is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Mission to Tanzania to support a limited number of public diplomacy projects. The program is designed to fund initiatives proposed by a range of applicants, including individuals, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and academic institutions. Projects supported through this APS are expected to advance one or more of the U.S. Mission to Tanzania's Integrated Country Strategy and public diplomacy priorities, making the grant best suited for organizations and individuals who can clearly link their proposed activities to these stated goals.
The APS emphasizes proposals that contribute to key mission objectives in Tanzania. Priority areas include strengthening women’s entrepreneurship, promoting democratic governance, improving health and education outcomes with a particular focus on women and girls, encouraging broad-based economic growth and investment, and advancing both regional and domestic security. In practice, this means competitive proposals should be grounded in local needs, demonstrate a clear understanding of Tanzania’s context, and show how planned activities will produce tangible public diplomacy impacts aligned with at least one of these focus areas.
In terms of what the reviewers are looking for, the evaluation criteria explicitly encourage creative and innovative proposals. Applications that emphasize youth leadership, women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship, and engagement of underserved populations are viewed especially favorably. Applicants can interpret this as a strong signal to design programs that are inclusive and impact-oriented, with a clear plan to reach communities that may not typically benefit from similar opportunities. Proposals that combine these themes, such as youth-driven entrepreneurship training for young women or civic engagement initiatives that intentionally include marginalized groups, would likely align well with the program’s preferences.
The funding parameters indicate a relatively small-grants structure. The award ceiling is listed at $25,000, and the program anticipated making about 10 awards. This suggests the APS is geared toward focused, achievable projects with well-defined scopes, realistic budgets, and outcomes that can be delivered without needing large-scale financing. Applicants should therefore present clear deliverables and measurable results that fit within a modest budget and a manageable implementation plan.
Applicants must meet specific submission requirements. Each proposal needs to include a cover letter or application letter, the organization’s official registration documentation, and a list of key members of the organization. Support or recommendation letters are optional but may be included if available, which can help strengthen credibility by showing community buy-in, partner support, or evidence of past performance. These requirements indicate the Mission is looking for basic organizational legitimacy and clarity about who is responsible for managing and implementing the project.
For submission and questions, proposals are to be sent by email to DARPDProposals@state.gov. If an applicant needs assistance regarding the public diplomacy grant requirements, they should contact the same email address and include "PD Small Grants" in the subject line. The original closing date listed for this opportunity was July 31, 2019, and the opportunity was created on March 1, 2019, meaning this specific APS notice reflects that application cycle and timeline.Apply for DOS DAR 2019
