Grant Opportunity Analysis

The U.S. Mission to Togo is offering a discretionary Public Diplomacy grant through the Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund to support alumni of U.S. exchange programs and alumni organizations in Togo. The program funds alumni-led projects that address strategic challenges such as unlawful migration, entrepreneurship, energy independence, and countering malign foreign influence while strengthening U.S.-Togo ties. Proposals are expected to show measurable impact, sustainability, and clear alignment with U.S. interests, and funded projects must later be reported through ACES with a narrative, deliverables, and supporting media. The opportunity provides one award of $5,000 to $35,000, has no matching requirement, and closes on May 7, 2026, with questions directed to LomePDGrants@state.gov.
