Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS LIMA FY20 01
The U.S. Embassy in Lima, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS), is seeking grant proposals for projects that build stronger people-to-people connections between the United States and Peru. The core idea is to support cultural and exchange programs that highlight shared values, deepen mutual understanding, and encourage practical bilateral cooperation. A central requirement is that every proposed project must clearly include a U.S. cultural element or a concrete connection to the United States, such as collaboration with U.S. experts, U.S.-based organizations, or U.S. institutions in a relevant field. The Embassy emphasizes that the strongest proposals will not just be generally cultural or educational, but will also help participants better understand U.S. policy and perspectives in ways that are credible and appropriate for public diplomacy programming.
PAS indicates it is especially interested in projects that directly align with and advance the U.S. government Integrated Country Strategy (ICS) for Peru, which outlines priority objectives for U.S. engagement in the country. Applicants are encouraged to review the Peru ICS (available through the State Department ICS portal under the Western Hemisphere region) and make a clear case for how their activities support those strategic goals. In practice, this means proposals should show a strong logic connecting activities to outcomes (for example, improved professional networks, expanded cultural collaboration, or increased knowledge and understanding), and explain why the U.S.-Peru partnership is meaningfully strengthened as a result.
The opportunity is framed as a small grants program and allows for a wide range of project formats. Examples listed include lectures, seminars, and speaker series; artistic and cultural workshops; joint performances and exhibitions; cultural heritage conservation or preservation initiatives; professional or academic exchanges (including virtual exchanges that connect Peruvians with U.S. experts or communities); and professional development trainings or workshops. These examples are not exhaustive, but they signal that PAS is open to both traditional in-person programming and technology-enabled engagement, as long as the U.S. component is substantive and the program advances mutual understanding and cooperation.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Peru. The funding opportunity number is PAS LIMA FY20 01, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 19.040. The Embassy anticipated making up to 15 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $100,000 per grant. The notice also makes clear that funding depends on the availability of funds, so even strong proposals may be affected by budget constraints or shifting priorities.
Eligibility includes U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and additional categories described more broadly as "others" depending on the specific eligibility guidance in the full announcement. The opportunity was originally posted on March 9, 2020, with an original closing date of September 30, 2020. A Spanish-language version of the funding information is available through the U.S. Embassy in Peru website under the education and culture funding opportunities section.Apply for PAS LIMA FY20 01
