Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Consulate General in Hyderabad (Public Affairs Section) offered this discretionary funding opportunity to support a professional development workshop focused on the overlap between social media and journalism, specifically blogging. The core purpose of the grant was to help Indian journalists and bloggers strengthen their ability to use blogs as a serious reporting tool, with an emphasis on producing deeper, more thoughtful coverage of complex global issues and current challenges. In practical terms, the program was designed to move beyond casual online writing and instead build participants skills in using blogging techniques, formats, and digital storytelling approaches to explain difficult international topics in a way that is accessible, well-researched, and engaging for the public.
The funding mechanism was offered as either a cooperative agreement or a grant, meaning the project would be supported financially by the U.S. Mission to India while also allowing for a structured partnership approach consistent with public diplomacy programming. The activity category was listed as "Other," clarified as a professional development workshop on the intersection between social media and journalism, and it fell under CFDA 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible.
Awards were expected to fall within a relatively tight range, with an anticipated award floor of $55,000 and an award ceiling of $65,000. Eligible applicants included a range of nonprofit and higher education entities: nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. In other words, the opportunity targeted organizations with demonstrated capacity to design and deliver training programs, convene media professionals, and run structured workshops.
