Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS GEO 21 004 012521
The Alumni Grants Program is a U.S. Embassy Tbilisi funding opportunity designed specifically for Georgian alumni of U.S. government (USG) exchange programs who want to run practical, community-focused projects that strengthen Georgia's democratic development and support Western integration. It is structured as a small-grants competition, meaning it is aimed at relatively modest, clearly defined initiatives that can show concrete results rather than large, multi-year programs. The Embassy is looking for proposals that respond to a real, visible need in a community and that can demonstrate measurable outcomes, such as clear deliverables, quantifiable reach, or documented improvements tied to the project activities.
The program priorities center on areas the Embassy views as directly connected to democratic resilience and Euro-Atlantic integration. Examples of eligible themes include promoting gender equality; strengthening inclusion and participation of ethnic and religious minorities; supporting independent media development; improving cyber-security awareness and building cyber education; advancing basic education; encouraging economic growth; and fostering entrepreneurship. Applicants are encouraged to collaborate where it makes sense, including forming partnerships with public sector bodies, private sector actors, schools, or local civil society organizations, as long as the proposal remains focused and outcomes can be tracked.
A specific emphasis is placed on basic education proposals, with guidance that projects in this category should focus on strengthening public schools in grades 1 through 12. The opportunity highlights approaches such as teacher training and professional development, as well as innovative student programs. It also points to tangible school-based improvements and enrichment activities, including development of school libraries, establishing or upgrading science and language laboratories, and creating enrichment programs that broaden student skills and engagement. For applicants working in education, the Embassy recommends aligning proposals with established U.S. government education guidance, referencing the U.S. Government Education Strategy FY2019-2023 and the USAID Education Policy Program Cycle Implementation and Operational Guide.
