Opportunity Information: Apply for BUCHAREST PAS FY21 01
The U.S. Embassy in Bucharest, through its Public Affairs Section, offered this discretionary grant opportunity to support a Romania-wide peer-to-peer program aimed at preventing and reducing racially or ethnically motivated hate and violence, explicitly including anti-Semitism. The core idea is to build practical, community-level capacity to recognize, respond to, and ultimately curtail hatred, exclusion, and hostility that targets people based on immutable characteristics. The program is expected to be action-oriented, combining public-facing campaigns with hands-on learning activities that strengthen local networks and improve how communities address intolerance before it escalates into violence.
A key requirement is geographic reach beyond Bucharest. The selected awardee must organize activities in multiple Romanian cities and regions, including at least three locations outside the capital, specifically in areas where ethnic, religious, or cultural tensions and violence have been increasing. Rather than focusing only on national-level messaging, the program is designed to meet communities where challenges are occurring, tailoring interventions to local realities and supporting locally credible voices.
The intended participants span a wide civic and professional ecosystem: civic and social activists, educators, journalists, local government authorities, academics, influencers, and university students. The grant expects the implementer to convene and train these groups to raise awareness and to develop practical approaches for countering hate, stereotypes, and social exclusion. In practice, that means creating spaces where participants can learn from each other, test approaches, and coordinate responses across sectors such as education, media, civil society, and local administration.
The program must be implemented in close coordination with the U.S. Department of State and the Strong Cities Network, reflecting a model that emphasizes prevention and local resilience. The awardee is required to incorporate at least two U.S. subject-matter expert speakers and to deliver structured programming such as workshops, case studies, webinars, and training sessions aligned with specific goals and measurable outcomes. While the notice anticipates in-person activities as the default, it also allows for virtual delivery when required by then-current COVID-19 public health measures.
Two exchange components are built into the award. First, the grant includes engagement with Strong Cities Network staff, including a four-working-day visit to Romania. Second, the awardee must organize and purchase round-trip international airfare for up to five Romanian participants to travel to the United States in spring or summer 2022 for a State Department exchange, extending the peer-learning model and exposing participants to U.S. experience and practices relevant to countering hate and intolerance.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Romania, under the funding opportunity number BUCHAREST PAS FY21 01 and categorized under Humanities (with reference to Cultural Affairs). Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, as well as nonprofit organizations both with and without U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher-education institutions in the nonprofit categories). The notice was posted August 18, 2021, with an original application deadline of September 18, 2021. The opportunity anticipated making up to three awards, and the award ceiling was listed as 0 in the source data (typically indicating the ceiling was not specified in that field or depended on additional guidance in the full announcement).Apply for BUCHAREST PAS FY21 01
