Synopsis

The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy Doha announces an open competition to implement a program to advance concrete U.S. economic, technological, and security interests in Qatar. This is not a call for traditional cultural programming. What We Fund: Projects that position U.S. firms and technologies as Qatar's preferred partners; demonstrate how America's open society drives innovation; strengthen U.S.-Qatar security cooperation; and use Freedom250 to showcase American excellence in ways that support strategic objectives. What We Require: Clearly defined target audiences, specific measurable objectives, concrete impact metrics, and strategic alignment with U.S. interests. Four Themes (choose at least one): 1. Strategic Economic and Technology Partnership 2. Open Information, Free Inquiry, and Innovation 3. Sovereignty, Security, and the U.S. as High-Trust Partner 4. American Heritage, Excellence, and Freedom 250 (must connect to contemporary U.S. strengths) The overarching goal of this NOFO is to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous by focusing public diplomacy resources on initiatives that directly support U.S. national interests while deepening U.S.–Qatar cooperation.

Who can apply

• Not-for-profit and community service organizations registered and operating in Qatar, including think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations with programming experience. • Individuals (Qatari citizens and residents of Qatar) who are based in Qatar (recipient of an award to an individual is a single person, not an organization or a group of individuals). • Public and non-profit private educational institutions registered in Qatar. • Public and non-profit private educational institutions registered in the U.S., working with local affiliate institutions registered in Qatar. • Qatari government institutions.
