Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund

The U.S. Mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo is offering the Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund, a federal grant aimed at supporting community development initiatives. This program provides small grants ranging from $3,000 to $9,000 to local organizations, particularly those addressing health and development challenges while promoting economic opportunities for vulnerable populations. With an estimated total program funding of $75,000 and the expectation of awarding approximately 15 grants, projects must be completed within one year and demonstrate strong community involvement and sustainability. Interested applicants can reach out to Grace E Mbuyi at KinshasaSGP@state.gov or by phone at +243 81 225 5872 ext. 2144 for further information, with applications expected to be submitted by August 31, 2021.
