Opportunity Summary:
The North America Forum grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 08 1 0023) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide financial support for the North American Forum, a regional development-focused event. The forum is specifically hosted by the World Affairs Council of Northern California, and the announcement makes clear that the government is only seeking an application from that organization because it is considered uniquely capable of delivering the forum. In practical terms, this is a targeted, single-recipient opportunity rather than an open competition.
Funding is set up as one expected award totaling 245,000 dollars, with an award ceiling and floor both fixed at 245,000 dollars, meaning the grant amount is essentially predetermined rather than variable. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on April 10, 2008, with an original and current closing date of April 24, 2008, and an archive date of May 24, 2008. Eligibility is listed under a broad category ("Others"), but the eligibility statement narrows this down decisively by specifying that only the World Affairs Council of Northern California is being solicited for applications due to its role as host and its particular capabilities.
