The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy in Paraguay announces this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) open competition to implement to support projects celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence (Freedom 250). The Embassy invites U.S. government exchange program alumni organizations in Paraguay to apply for funding to design and implement initiatives amplifying alumni voices and highlighting American leadership. The U.S. Embassy will accept proposals from U.S. alumni organizations in Paraguay using interviews, multimedia storytelling, and a networking event to gather and share their members’ reflections on U.S. excellence in science and technology, economic dynamism, sports, and global influence. These activities should illustrate how U.S. values and achievements have shaped alumni experiences and contributed to Paraguay’s growth as a strong bilateral partner. Please follow all instructions in the NOFO.
