Opportunity Summary:
The Kyiv American Center Program was a U.S. Department of State public diplomacy grant opportunity aimed at launching and operating a new, stand-alone American Center in downtown Kyiv, Ukraine. The project was part of the larger American Spaces network (roughly 700 locations worldwide) supported by the Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP). The core purpose was to advance democratic values by guaranteeing free public access to information and creating a high-visibility venue for face-to-face engagement between Ukrainians and U.S. representatives. The Center was envisioned as a modern, technology-forward, welcoming space where Embassy personnel, official visitors, and partner organizations could meet with Ukrainians, with a clear emphasis on reaching young leaders and young professionals and encouraging open dialogue on issues central to U.S.-Ukraine relations.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected organization would implement day-to-day operations while coordinating closely with the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv on key decisions, especially staffing choices and program content. The recipient would be responsible for the full operational setup and ongoing management of the Center. This included hiring local Ukrainian staff skilled in program development and event management, building out the technology infrastructure, and providing the resource materials, supplies, and technical support needed to run a functional, attractive public space. A major expectation was the creation of a flexible, dynamic monthly calendar of activities designed not only to draw visitors in, but also to motivate repeat participation and sustained community engagement over time.
Funding for the opportunity was substantial but focused on a single implementer. The program anticipated one award with an estimated total funding level of $600,000, an award ceiling of $600,000, and an award floor of $400,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category fell under humanities/cultural affairs within the State Department public diplomacy framework (CFDA 19.040, Public Diplomacy Programs). Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted January 30, 2015, and closed March 13, 2015, with administration handled through the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. For applicant support, the point of contact listed was Sheryl Bistransky, Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.
