Opportunity Summary:
The Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX) Host Family and School Placement grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State initiative run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically its Youth Programs Division. The competition focuses on one major piece of the broader FLEX exchange program: the placement function inside the United States. In practical terms, the award supports organizations that can recruit, screen, and select appropriate American host families and U.S. high schools for incoming FLEX participants. The students to be placed are high school youth ages 15 to 17 from parts of the former Soviet Union, identified in the announcement as the Eurasia region, and the placement activities covered by this solicitation apply only to students from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, and Tajikistan.
This is a discretionary grant competition (rather than a formula award), and it is aimed at organizations capable of managing the logistics and safeguards that come with placing minors in family homes and schools. The core expectation is that recipients will build and maintain a pipeline of vetted host families and cooperating schools, matching students to placements that are safe, appropriate, and supportive of an academic-year exchange experience. While the notice is framed as the "placement component," it implies a responsibility for the front-end processes that make placement possible, such as community outreach to recruit hosts, screening and selection procedures, and coordination with schools willing to enroll and support exchange students.
Eligibility is centered on nonprofit capacity and compliance. Public and private nonprofit organizations that meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code 26 USC 501(c)(3) are eligible to apply. The listing also indicates eligibility for private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with a category labeled "Others" that refers applicants back to the full announcement for any additional eligibility details or conditions. The award requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources in addition to grant funds, consistent with the rules and ratios described in the full solicitation.
In terms of funding scale, the opportunity lists an estimated total of $7,150,000 available across an expected 15 awards, with an award floor of $195,000. The catalog listing includes a CFDA number of 00.000 (not elsewhere classified), reflecting that the program is categorized under a general listing rather than a specific CFDA program code in this summary record. The opportunity was posted on November 2, 2007, with the application deadline set for December 14, 2007, and it was archived on December 15, 2007. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is labeled "Other," with a note to consult the full announcement for the official explanation of that category.
Applicants needing access to the full announcement or encountering technical problems were directed to contact Hans Posey, Program Specialist, at poseyhe@state.gov.
