Executive Summary

The 2025 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) provides funding for alumni of U.S. government exchange programs to lead community projects that support U.S. foreign policy goals. This opportunity encourages innovative solutions to global challenges while fostering collaboration between alumni and strengthening ties with the U.S. government.


Mission Germany seeks proposals from alumni teams of at least two members that align with key themes, including artificial intelligence and technology, energy security, entrepreneurship, STEM education, and projects tied to U.S. and German shared history or cultural milestones. Successful proposals will have clear goals, involve U.S. elements like American speakers or practices, and include a plan to measure their impact.


Sample projects might include leadership workshops, STEM hackathons, or digital economy summits. Priority audiences include youth, journalists, educators, and entrepreneurs. This program empowers alumni to use their skills to create positive change in their communities while advancing shared U.S.-German interests.
