Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) and its Cultural Programs Division (ECA/PE/C/CU), announced a discretionary grant competition to select a single U.S. nonprofit organization to organize the official United States presentation at the 13th Cairo International Biennale in Cairo, Egypt. The Biennale itself was scheduled to run from December 2012 through February 2013, and the grant is intended to cover the full range of work required to develop and deliver a professional national presentation in that international setting, including planning, curatorial coordination, fabrication and production, on-site installation, participant travel, and shipping the exhibition back or onward at the end of the event.
Funding for the opportunity was projected at up to $135,000 total, with an award ceiling of $135,000 and an award floor of $0, and the Department expected to make one award. The funding instrument is a grant, and it falls under CFDA 19.415 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs / Citizen Exchanges), reflecting the program goal of advancing cultural exchange and U.S. representation abroad through high-profile arts programming. Cost sharing or matching funds were explicitly not required, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive under the stated terms.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations recognized under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code (excluding institutions of higher education). The announcement also made clear that direct funding to non-U.S. entities was not available under this competition, so any overseas partners would need to be engaged through the eligible U.S. applicant rather than receiving funds directly. The Department noted that it encouraged applications from organizations that had not previously received U.S. government international program funding, signaling an interest in expanding the pool of organizations with experience in cultural diplomacy programming.
The competition was posted May 20, 2011 (created May 25, 2011) and had an application deadline of September 23, 2011, with the opportunity archived October 23, 2011. The administering agency was listed as the Office of Acquisitions Management. For technical access issues with the full announcement, the provided point of contact was Ashley James, Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-875-6015 or by email at Jamesad2@state.gov. The notice also pointed applicants to a related, separate Grants.gov opportunity concerning organizing official U.S. representation at the 55th International Art Exhibition in Venice (June through November 2012), as another potential avenue for organizations interested in similar international exhibition leadership.
