Eligible applicants include past participants of U.S. government-funded exchange programs, who are encouraged to propose projects that leverage digital technologies and artificial intelligence to promote economic growth and enhance institutional capacity in Kazakhstan. This initiative is particularly significant as it aligns with the Freedom250 celebration, marking the 250th anniversary of the United States, and seeks to foster community engagement and sustainable outcomes over a 3-12 month implementation period. Interested applicants should note that the funding amounts range from $5,000 to $35,000, with a submission deadline of March 20, 2026.
