Opportunity Summary:
Environmental Management within the Framework of Economic Growth (Funding Opportunity Number PRMPD 14 GR 001 WHA 07152014) was a U.S. Mission to Paraguay, Public Diplomacy (PD) Section grant competition aimed at supporting an environmental and conservation initiative in Paraguay that connects natural resource management with economic development. The core idea of the opportunity was to fund a regional conference that would educate and motivate local audiences and organizations to engage more actively on both global and local environmental challenges, while also convening key decision makers to discuss practical approaches to managing natural resources in ways that align with growth and development goals.
The program was structured as an assistance award, offered as a grant or cooperative agreement under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category, with the funding associated with CFDA 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs). The Embassy anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was $50,000 and the award floor was $45,000, meaning proposals were expected to fall within a fairly narrow band of project budgets. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was limited to not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations. Specifically, the announcement indicates eligibility for nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) or organizations operating under similar nonprofit statutes in Paraguay. The notice also clarified that direct funding to non-U.S. entities was available, which is important for locally based Paraguayan organizations that might otherwise assume U.S.-based registration is necessary.
In terms of expected project content, the Embassy emphasized public engagement and education on environmental issues, and it framed the conference as a vehicle for bringing together stakeholders who can influence policy, practice, and public understanding. While the solicitation summary does not list detailed deliverables, the emphasis on “educating and encouraging local audiences and organizations†and “bringing together key decision makers†signals that strong proposals would likely include thoughtful plans for conference programming, speaker and participant selection, outreach and communications, and concrete outcomes such as strengthened networks, action agendas, or follow-on activities that extend beyond a single event.
Key dates for the opportunity were: posted and created on July 15, 2014; application deadline (original and current closing date) of August 5, 2014; and an archive date of September 4, 2014. The funding opportunity was administered by the U.S. Mission to Paraguay. For applicants unable to access the full announcement online at the time, the contact listed was Darren Beltran, PD Grants and Program Assistant, reachable by phone at +595 21 213 715.
