The document outlines a federal funding proposal focusing on operational costs, including personnel expenses and other expenditures such as rent, utilities, and supplies. It indicates a complete lack of allocated costs for personnel within the proposal, suggesting either no staff involvement or an absence of budgetary allocation. The document is structured to report total operational costs, activities, and overall funding contributions, including potential backing from the U.S. Embassy and additional donor sources. The lack of specified financial figures underscores an unclear financial strategy for the project. This document serves as a preliminary or conceptual phase for potential federal grants or RFPs aimed at operational support for organizational activities, emphasizing the need for further financial clarity and detailed budgeting before funding is requested.

The Democracy Commission's Small Grants Program at the United States Embassy in Tirana, Albania, seeks applications for projects that promote democratic values and practices. The application form outlines the required information, including project title, organization details, project goals, justification for the project, a description of activities, project timelines, and a detailed budget. Each submission must clearly articulate how the project aligns with the goals of democracy promotion and specify methods for measuring success and evaluating outcomes. The document emphasizes the necessity of presenting a clear justification for the project, describing key activities in a concise manner and respecting character limits for clarity and brevity. It also requires an overview of the project team and an attached budget breakdown in Excel format. This initiative aims to fund innovative ideas that can effectively strengthen democratic institutions and processes in Albania.
