Opportunity Summary:
The Exchange on Volunteerism in the United States (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS LONDON PD 2016 04) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program managed by the U.S. Embassy London Public Affairs Office. Its main purpose is to fund and organize a short-term exchange visit to the United States for a delegation of 10 British professionals and community leaders whose work focuses on volunteerism and social action. The program is designed to give participants a practical, on-the-ground introduction to how volunteerism functions in American civic life, with a strong emphasis on understanding volunteer service as a widely recognized value in U.S. culture and community engagement.
The exchange is structured around a series of professional appointments and meetings across multiple sectors. Participants are expected to meet with U.S. government officials as well as representatives from charities, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and community-based groups. In practice, this means the itinerary would likely highlight how volunteer programs are built and sustained, how civic initiatives are supported by policy or public-private partnerships, how nonprofits recruit and retain volunteers, and how communities mobilize around local needs. The overall outcome is meant to be a clearer understanding of U.S. approaches to volunteering and social action, along with relationship-building between U.K. leaders and American counterparts.
The participant group is intentionally mixed to bring together decision-makers and practitioners who can apply what they learn back in the United Kingdom. The delegation is expected to include Members of Parliament, civil servants, volunteerism specialists, and private sector representatives. By combining public officials with nonprofit and business voices, the program aims to encourage cross-sector thinking about how volunteerism can be promoted, organized, and supported at scale.
From a grantmaking standpoint, the award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the funding agency expects to be actively involved in the project’s implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.011. The program anticipated making one award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $75,000.
Eligibility is fairly broad and includes U.S.-based and eligible organizations that can operate an international exchange program: nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The opportunity was posted on March 18, 2016, and had an application deadline of April 25, 2016. The awarding agency is listed as DOS-GBR, reflecting the State Department’s U.K.-focused administrative channel for this Embassy London opportunity.
