Opportunity Summary:
The Vietnam LGBTI Small Grant was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Vietnam. Its central aim was to support a focused project that improves the rights and inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex (LGBTI) people in workplace settings in Vietnam. A second major objective was coalition-building: the program specifically emphasized creating stronger, practical partnerships between LGBTI-focused civil society organizations and prominent businesses operating in Vietnam, with the idea that employer engagement can translate into more durable, on-the-ground protections and better workplace practices.
The opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number DOS 2016 VIETNAM LGBTI and categorized as a grant (not a contract), meaning funding would support a proposed program rather than purchase a defined government service. The activity category was listed as "Other," indicating the funded work did not fit neatly into a single standard program bucket and applicants were expected to consult the full Notice of Funding Opportunity for the precise scope and allowable activities.
Financially, the award ceiling was $25,000, and the U.S. Mission expected to make one award. This structure points to a small, targeted initiative rather than a large multi-year program, likely intended to pilot an approach, convene stakeholders, produce concrete tools or policies, or catalyze collaboration that could continue beyond the grant period. The CFDA listing was 19.345, which is associated with U.S. Department of State public diplomacy and related assistance programming.
The competition opened on July 22, 2016, with an original application deadline of August 22, 2016. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details provided in the full Request for Proposal/Notice of Funding Opportunity referenced in the announcement. In practical terms, this usually signals that eligibility might include certain types of non-profit organizations, civil society groups, or other entities deemed suitable under the program rules, but applicants would need to confirm exact requirements, restrictions, and documentation in the official posting.
In short, this small grant was designed to fund one project in Vietnam that could move workplace equality forward for LGBTI individuals while also connecting advocacy organizations with influential private-sector partners, using a modest funding level to drive a practical, coalition-based outcome.
