Opportunity Summary:
The International Airport Arrival and Departure Program grant opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of International Visitors (ECA/PE/V). It seeks proposals to design and run a coordinated airport arrival and departure assistance program that supports participants traveling under the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP). The core purpose is to ensure IVLP visitors receive reliable, well-managed logistical help at a limited set of U.S. domestic airports, covering both arrivals and departures. The program is sized for roughly 1,000 service requests per year, meaning the recipient would be expected to manage a steady, high-volume operational workflow and provide consistent traveler support tied to IVLP itineraries.
Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. ECA indicated its intent to make a single award, structured as one base year with up to two additional option years. The estimated total funding across the full potential period is $1,125,000, contingent on the availability of funds. The award ceiling is listed as $375,000, which aligns with a three-year structure at up to that amount per year. Applicants should read the full announcement for the detailed scope, performance expectations, and any required coordination mechanisms, since the summary information points to additional requirements contained in the full notice.
Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, private and public institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities as described in the full announcement. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project budget in whatever form and amount the full notice specifies. The opportunity is categorized under CFDA 19.402, which covers professional and cultural exchange programs and includes IVLP-related activities, reinforcing that the assistance services are meant to support official exchange visitors traveling as part of U.S. public diplomacy programming.
Administrative details show the opportunity was posted on April 18, 2012, with an application deadline of June 1, 2012, and an archive date of June 2, 2012. The funding opportunity number is ECA PE V 13 04 OY B.
