Opportunity Summary:
The Interethnic Reconciliation and Youth Camps grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APP003BIHIERY) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered through DOS-BIH that funds projects meant to reduce ethnic divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina by creating structured, in-person contact among people from different ethnic and geographic communities. The core idea is to support initiatives that move beyond dialogue at a distance and instead bring participants together directly, in settings where they can build relationships, practice cooperation, and develop greater tolerance. The program is framed around reconciliation, with a focus on practical interaction that helps participants see one another as peers and collaborators rather than as members of separate groups.
A central theme of the opportunity is the use of camps as the main vehicle for engagement. Applicants are encouraged to organize camps whose participant groups reflect the diversity of BiH society, meaning the Embassy is looking for programming that intentionally includes youth and/or other community members from different ethnic backgrounds and different parts of the country. While proposals that involve young people are especially encouraged, the opportunity is not limited to youth-only concepts. Youth are broadly defined here as ages 11 to 25, and the Embassy signals openness to innovative approaches, as long as the project clearly advances inter-ethnic cooperation and meaningful interaction.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with an award ceiling of up to $50,000 per award. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating that the work may cross typical sector boundaries (such as education, civic engagement, peacebuilding, culture, or sports) as long as it clearly supports reconciliation and inter-ethnic cooperation through camp-based programming. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NoFO), so interested organizations would need to consult the full announcement to confirm they qualify and to understand any specific requirements.
The opportunity was posted and created on December 8, 2015, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) is February 5, 2016. Organizations are instructed to read the NoFO carefully and follow the application guidance when preparing and submitting proposals. For application forms and further details, applicants are directed to contact the program via email at IECampsBIH@state.gov, or by phone at +387 33 704 285, or by fax at +387 33 704 432.
