Opportunity Information: Apply for M NOFO 19 102
The LGBT Pride Month Film Festival 2019 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: M NOFO 19 102) was a discretionary U.S. Department of State program offered through the U.S. Mission to India, specifically the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai. It invited proposals for a public-facing cultural and community program to be held in Mumbai: a three-day film festival timed around Pride Month programming, designed to engage general audiences through curated screenings and related public discussion.
At its core, the project aimed to present seven to ten American films that explore the legal and social dimensions of the fight for gay rights in the United States, while also tracing how mainstream culture, Hollywood, and public attitudes have portrayed and perceived gay people over time. A key emphasis was on representation: how gay characters have been depicted on screen, how those portrayals have evolved, and what that shift says about broader social change. By anchoring the festival in American films, the program aligned with public diplomacy goals, using U.S. cultural output to spark dialogue, increase understanding, and highlight historical and ongoing civil rights issues.
The award was structured as a grant with an expected single awardee. The maximum funding level (award ceiling) was $18,000, and the opportunity anticipated making one award. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations holding U.S. 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity areas were listed under Community Development and Humanities, consistent with cultural affairs-style programming.
The notice was created on December 21, 2018, with an original application closing date of February 20, 2019. Interested applicants were directed to consult the full announcement under the "related documents" section for additional requirements, selection criteria, and implementation details, implying that the short summary presented in the synopsis was supplemented by more specific guidance on programming expectations, budgeting, and deliverables.Apply for M NOFO 19 102
