Proposals must include a project summary, goals and SMART objectives, design and methods, timeline, partners, outreach, and a monitoring and evaluation plan, and the work is intended to support priorities such as Freedom 250, making the United States safer, stronger, and more prosperous, and defending freedom of speech. Awards range from $5,000 to $35,000, with an estimated total program funding of $35,000 for about two awards, no matching requirement, and a submission deadline of May 18, 2026; inquiries may be sent to PDBeirutGrants@state.gov.
