Opportunity Information: Apply for PASAUS NOFO FY18 01
The U.S. Embassy Canberra Public Affairs Section (PAS), part of the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement. The core purpose of this opportunity is to support projects that strengthen and build public support for the U.S.-Australia alliance by increasing understanding of the relationship and giving Australians more direct exposure to U.S. perspectives, people, institutions, and culture. A central requirement is that every proposed project must include a clear "American element" such as collaboration with U.S. experts, U.S. organizations, or U.S. institutions, or programming that directly connects participants to the United States in a meaningful, substantive way.
The Embassy lays out several priority program areas that proposals should address. One focus is advancing U.S.-Australian cooperation on major 21st century challenges, specifically including current global security challenges, free, fair, and reciprocal trade policies, and natural resource management. Another priority is improving public understanding of the depth and breadth of the U.S.-Australia economic partnership, such as how trade, investment, innovation, and commercial ties link the two countries. Closely related is a priority on increasing understanding of the benefits of the U.S.-Australia security alliance, which may include defense cooperation, shared strategic interests, and joint approaches to regional and global security issues. The program also emphasizes cultural and arts programming designed to give younger Australians a chance to experience lesser-known aspects of the United States, using cultural engagement as a pathway to broader understanding of the alliance.
The intended audience is primarily Australians under 30, especially those who are less familiar with the U.S.-Australia alliance or who have limited existing connections to the United States. In practice, this means proposals are expected to be designed with youth engagement in mind and to reach beyond the most obvious audiences that already follow alliance issues. Projects that can credibly show they will attract new or less-engaged participants in this age group are aligned with the Embassy's stated goals.
Eligible applicants include registered not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations that have relevant programming experience), individuals, educational institutions (both non-profit and governmental), and governmental institutions. For-profit or commercial entities are explicitly not eligible to apply, which signals that projects should be framed as public-interest public diplomacy initiatives rather than commercial ventures.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) listed under CFDA 19.040 and issued by the U.S. Mission to Australia. The funding opportunity number is PASAUS NOFO FY18 01. The award ceiling is USD 25,000 per award, and the original closing date listed is 2018-09-01, with a creation date of 2018-01-08. Overall, this announcement is meant to guide applicants on what the Embassy is looking for during the funding year: practical, alliance-focused public diplomacy projects, built around a strong U.S. connection, and aimed mainly at younger Australians who are not already deeply plugged into U.S.-Australia networks.Apply for PASAUS NOFO FY18 01
