Opportunity Summary:
The Promoting Integration, Tolerance and Awareness Program (PITA) is a USAID/Caucasus grant opportunity designed to strengthen social cohesion and inclusion in Georgia over a five-year period. The program is meant to help diverse ethnic and religious communities participate more fully in civic life and to improve the ways minority communities connect with and are represented in national and local governance. In practical terms, the opportunity supports efforts that bring minority groups and the Government of Georgia into more regular, constructive interaction, while also building a stronger shared civic identity among young people from different backgrounds. A third core emphasis is broader public education and awareness on diversity, with a particular connection to media-related activities.
USAID intends to make one award through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects to stay actively involved during implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The total estimated funding is USD 4,600,000, and the award ceiling is also USD 4,600,000, indicating the single award could cover the full amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which can lower barriers for local organizations that may not have access to significant co-financing.
Eligibility is restricted to local Georgian organizations, and applications are only accepted from Georgian entities. The opportunity is aimed specifically at local non-governmental organizations that work on inclusion, minority rights, integration, youth engagement, and tolerance-building, especially organizations positioned to run community-based programming and public outreach. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" with an explanation pointing to media, suggesting that communications, information campaigns, and media-based education efforts may be a central tool for achieving the program goals, alongside on-the-ground engagement.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted on December 10, 2014, with an application deadline of January 20, 2015, and it was archived on February 19, 2015. The funding opportunity number is RFA 114 15 000004, and the title is Promoting Integration, Tolerance and Awareness Program (PITA). For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed USAID contact is Yana Adelberg, Acquisition Specialist, reachable by phone at 995 32 544 144 or by email at yadelberg@usaid.gov.
