Opportunity Summary:
The European Green Capital conference 2010 grant opportunity was a competitive U.S. government assistance award administered by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm under the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. Its purpose was to fund a U.S. nonprofit organization to organize and manage the participation of a U.S. delegation of roughly 10 to 15 mayors and/or senior municipal officials at the inaugural European Green Capital conference in Stockholm, Sweden, held October 20 to 22, 2010. The conference was expected to convene hundreds of European mayors and city leaders to focus on urban sustainability, and Stockholm officials had specifically invited the U.S. Embassy to bring a U.S. municipal delegation to exchange experiences and best practices with European counterparts.
The award was structured as a grant, with one expected award and an estimated total funding level of up to USD 50,000, which also served as the award ceiling. The project period was described as six months, centered on planning, executing, and supporting the delegation’s participation in the conference and related activities. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness.
Eligibility was limited to U.S. nonprofit and non-governmental organizations, with direct funding not available to non-U.S. entities. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status could apply, as long as they were not institutions of higher education. The announcement also signaled openness to organizations that had not previously received U.S. government international program funding, but it emphasized that applicants needed demonstrated expertise in organizing and administering U.S. group participation in international conferences or similar events. Established relationships with U.S. municipalities were noted as a favorable factor, since recruiting and coordinating with city leaders was a central deliverable.
The selected grantee’s responsibilities were operationally extensive. A key requirement was recruiting a strong delegation that reflected the diversity of U.S. cities by region, size, and population, while also showcasing a clear commitment to sustainability. Beyond recruitment, the grantee had to handle all travel logistics and accommodations, develop and manage schedules for delegation members across the conference and associated engagements, and serve as a liaison between conference organizers and the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm. The grantee also needed to organize a pre-briefing for delegation members to set expectations, explain conference activities, and clarify intended outcomes, as well as prepare and distribute schedules and information packets to participants.
A major clarification in the notice was that the grantee was expected to cover all travel, lodging, and any necessary per diem costs for the delegation members and any grantee support staff using the grant funds provided. The per diem did not have to match standard U.S. government per diem rates, but the budget still needed to be sufficient and realistic to cover the full set of participant support costs. Throughout the grant period, the grantee was expected to work closely with PAS at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm, effectively making embassy coordination a built-in management requirement rather than an optional partnership.
In terms of reporting and documentation, the grantee was required to provide PAS with a package of profiles for each U.S. delegation member and the cities represented. These profiles were expected to include information on sustainability initiatives in each city, reinforcing the program’s goal of substantive policy exchange rather than simply attending the event. The opportunity was posted May 24, 2010, with an application deadline of June 24, 2010, and it was archived July 24, 2010. The funding opportunity number was S-SW-800-10-GR032-6, and the activity category was listed as Environment.
