Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS), announced a discretionary grant opportunity called "Civic Education through English Language in Georgia." The program is set up as an open competition under a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an assistance award, and it is intended to fund one major project that strengthens English language instruction in Georgian schools while also embedding civic education content. The basic idea is to use English learning as a practical vehicle for building awareness of democratic principles and civic participation, linking language skills with broader educational and societal goals.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the U.S. government expects to stay actively engaged during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The project period is planned for two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The total funding available is estimated at $495,000, with an anticipated funding range between $400,000 (floor) and $495,000 (ceiling). Only one award is expected, so proposals would need to be substantial, clearly designed, and capable of operating at scale across relevant schools or regions. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have significant unrestricted funds.
The primary purpose of the ELCE Program is to improve English language teaching and learning in Georgian primary and secondary schools, serving grades 1 through 12. The direct beneficiaries are Georgian students and English teachers in those grades. Beyond language proficiency, the program is explicitly connected to larger policy and development goals: supporting Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration, promoting Western democratic values, strengthening students' readiness for higher and continuing education, and increasing employability by building marketable job skills tied to English proficiency. In practice, that framing signals that competitive proposals would likely integrate modern English pedagogy with civic themes such as democratic institutions, civic responsibility, critical thinking, media literacy, community engagement, and participatory decision-making, adapted to age-appropriate classroom contexts.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and Georgian private, nonprofit, non-governmental organizations, as well as educational institutions. The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Mission to Georgia (U.S. Embassy Tbilisi), and it is categorized under the education funding activity area. The listing references CFDA number 19.700, which corresponds to U.S. Department of State assistance programs. Key timeline details in the notice include an original closing date of May 31, 2014, updated to June 2, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on June 30, 2014. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726.
