Opportunity Information: Apply for OFOP0001543
The U.S. Embassy in Qatar, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS) in Doha, is offering a 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for projects that deepen and broaden ties between the United States and Qatar. The overall intent is to support practical, forward-looking programs that reinforce shared U.S.-Qatar values and strengthen bilateral cooperation. Funding is discretionary and depends on the availability of funds, and the Embassy emphasizes that applicants must follow the NOFO instructions closely because incomplete or non-compliant proposals will be ruled ineligible.
Geographically, the Embassy is prioritizing Doha and nearby municipalities, so proposals are expected to be designed for audiences and partners in that area. Programmatically, every proposal must clearly do four things: strengthen U.S.-Qatar cooperation on global issues of shared interest, increase understanding of U.S. values and perspectives, build relationships between Americans and Qataris, and include a meaningful American element. That American element must be a real connection to an American organization, institution, or subject-matter expert, and it needs to be separate from any role played by the U.S. Mission itself, its American Corners, or U.S. government exchange program alumni. In practice, this means the program design should show direct collaboration or engagement with U.S.-based counterparts, U.S. expertise, or U.S. institutions in a way that is central to the project and not just symbolic.
Within that broad framework, the Embassy signals three priority areas that will receive stronger consideration. The first is expanding political and economic opportunities for women in Qatar, which could include leadership development, workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, professional networking, mentorship, or policy and civic participation initiatives, as long as they connect to U.S. experience or partners and produce sustained relationship-building. The second priority is building higher education and emerging technology linkages between the United States and Qatar. Competitive concepts here would typically involve university partnerships, research collaborations, innovation programming, skills-building in high-demand tech fields, academic or professional exchange components (not necessarily formal exchanges), and structured engagement with U.S. institutions or experts. The third priority focuses on environmental stewardship, climate change mitigation, and green technology, which can cover education and awareness, community-level sustainability programs, applied workshops, collaborations around clean tech, or initiatives that help institutions and communities adopt greener practices, again anchored by a clear American connection.
Eligibility is oriented toward applicants located in Qatar. The Embassy encourages proposals from not-for-profit and community service organizations registered and operating in Qatar (including think tanks and NGOs with relevant programming experience), as well as public and non-profit private educational institutions registered in Qatar. Qatari governmental institutions are also encouraged to apply. In addition, individuals may apply, but only if they are Qatari citizens or Qatar residents based in Qatar, and the award in that case would be made to a single person rather than a team or informal group. Across all applicant types, the Embassy stresses that serious consideration depends on having substantial, practical experience delivering the kind of activities proposed, and that prior experience working with Qatari audiences is preferred.
Administratively, applications must be submitted by email to DohaGrants@state.gov, and applicants are expected to rely on the full NOFO document (titled "Full Notice of Funding Opportunity - OFOP0001543") for the detailed requirements, formatting rules, and required attachments. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number OFOP0001543, associated with CFDA 19.040, and the application deadline is August 29, 2024. The listed award ceiling is $100,000, meaning proposals should be scoped realistically within that maximum. Although the posting shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," the notice still functions as an open call for proposals and remains subject to funding availability and Embassy decisions about whether and how many awards to make.Apply for OFOP0001543
