Opportunity Information: Apply for SNU700 FY18 PAS 01
The Managua Annual Program Statement (PAS) Small Grants Program is a funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Nicaragua, managed through the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section. It supports innovative projects led by U.S. and Nicaraguan individuals as well as non-profit and non-governmental organizations that have legal status. The core purpose is to empower Nicaraguans through practical education and entrepreneurship, with specific emphasis on building educational and economic opportunity, promoting a bilingual workforce, and preventing gender-based violence. Projects are expected to focus their impact in Managua and Puerto Cabezas. The funding instrument may be a grant, cooperative agreement, or another award type under CFDA 19.040, depending on the project and oversight needs.
Funding is competitive and dependent on available funds. The program anticipates making about 10 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of up to $100,000 per project. Cost-sharing is encouraged because it can demonstrate commitment and leverage resources, but it is not required to apply or be considered for an award.
The program has clear boundaries on what it will not fund. Ineligible activities include projects that are primarily partisan political or religious in nature; international airfare unless it is essential to achieve the project goal; humanitarian or charitable relief efforts; for-profit, commercial, or trade activities; fundraising campaigns; scientific research; general institutional development or support to an organization without a specific project purpose; activities that duplicate existing projects; construction; purchase of vehicles; proposals where salaries are the main purpose of the grant rather than a supporting cost; and proposals where refreshments are the central element of the budget rather than a minor support cost. These restrictions are meant to keep awards focused on targeted, programmatic outcomes rather than general operations, political advocacy, or capital expenses.
Proposals are evaluated and scored using four main criteria. Reviewers look first at the overall quality of the program design, including how clearly the project is defined and how realistic and well-structured the activities are. They also assess the project’s ability to achieve its stated objectives, which generally means the logic of the approach, the feasibility of the timeline, and the capacity of the applicant to deliver results. A third factor is project evaluation, meaning the applicant should explain how success will be measured through outputs and outcomes and how progress will be tracked. Finally, reviewers closely examine the budget and the narrative justification, looking for costs that are reasonable, allowable, and directly tied to project activities, with enough detail to understand how funds will be used.
Applications must be submitted as a complete package by email to ManaguaIRC@state.gov, using “Grant Application” as the subject line. The deadline listed for this opportunity is June 29, 2018, and late submissions are not accepted. Applicants are expected to use the required forms provided under the Related Documents and Package tabs of the announcement. The required application package includes: (1) a proposal form that clearly describes the organization’s background and a detailed project description; (2) the federal assistance application form, using SF-424 for organizations or SF-424i for individuals; (3) a detailed budget using SF-424A and SF-424B along with a budget narrative; (4) for organizations, proof of active online registrations in DUNS, NCAGE, SAM.gov, and Grants.gov, noting that registrations must be updated annually and that legitimate registrations do not require fees; (5) a key contact form and CVs for relevant personnel; (6) the required certification documents; and (7) the SF-LLL Disclosure of Lobbying Activities form. Submissions can be in PDF, Word, Excel, or JPG formats, but the embassy cannot accept emails containing zipped attachments using WinZIP or WinRAR extensions, so files should be attached individually in accepted formats.Apply for SNU700 FY18 PAS 01
