Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, through its Office of Public Affairs in Sarajevo, announced a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AC001BIH) to fund administrative and programming support for American Corner Mostar for a one-year period. The project is meant to cover the day-to-day administrative management and the delivery of public programming at the Mostar location, while also providing a smaller amount of additional support to other American Corners across Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although the award is structured for one year, the grant may be renewed annually if additional funding is available, meaning the initial period could potentially be extended depending on future budget decisions.
The opportunity frames American Corners as multi-purpose cultural hubs that function as information centers, makerspaces, and community venues for events and educational activities. In practice, that description signals that proposed work should align with running a public-facing space that offers community access to information about the United States, supports learning and skills-building through hands-on activities, and hosts organized programs that bring people together. The primary focus is American Corner Mostar, but the awardee is also expected to offer limited assistance to the broader network of American Corners in the country, suggesting coordination, shared resources, or occasional support activities beyond Mostar.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism, with an anticipated single award. The stated funding range runs from a nominal award floor of $1 up to an award ceiling of $40,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The announcement lists the eligible applicant pool as nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, excluding institutions of higher education. That requirement narrows eligibility to U.S.-recognized charitable nonprofits and indicates that proposals must come from organizations that can document that tax status.
Key dates included a posted date of July 6, 2015, with an application closing deadline of September 4, 2015, and an archive date of October 4, 2015, reflecting that this was a time-limited solicitation for that period. Interested applicants were directed to a separate “Call for Proposals†link for full application instructions and requirements. For access issues or administrative questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact was Samra Alibegic, Administrative Clerk, reachable by phone at 0038733704000 or by email at alibegics@state.gov.
