Opportunity Summary:
The 2016 Mission Vietnam LGBTI Small Grant was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Vietnam. It was designed to support a focused project that would strengthen the rights and inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex (LGBTI) people in the workplace in Vietnam. A core theme of the competition was practical, workplace-centered change, with an emphasis on improving how LGBTI individuals are treated, supported, and protected in professional settings rather than only raising awareness in abstract terms.
A key objective of the grant was coalition-building: the program sought to connect LGBTI-focused civil society organizations with prominent businesses operating in Vietnam. In other words, the grant was meant to encourage partnerships where advocacy groups and the private sector work together, aligning policy, training, workplace practices, and corporate leadership to create measurable improvements in employment experiences for LGBTI workers. The concept suggests activities such as convenings, joint initiatives, or structured collaborations that bring employers into the conversation as active participants, not just observers.
The funding instrument was a grant, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an expectation of a single award being made. This indicates a small, targeted project with a relatively tight scope, likely favoring proposals that can demonstrate realistic outcomes within a limited budget and timeframe. The funding opportunity fell under CFDA number 19.345, associated with U.S. Department of State public diplomacy and related assistance programming.
The competition opened on July 21, 2016, and had an original closing date of August 21, 2016, giving applicants about a month to prepare and submit proposals. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the Request for Proposals, meaning prospective applicants were expected to consult the attached solicitation document for the specific types of organizations allowed to apply and any restrictions or documentation requirements.
Overall, this opportunity funded one small-scale initiative intended to advance workplace equality for LGBTI people in Vietnam by combining civil society expertise with business influence, aiming to produce practical improvements and a stronger network of partners committed to inclusive employment practices.
