Cultural Affairs Small Grants Program
The U.S. Embassy Cultural Affairs Office has a limited grants program that supports cultural, artistic, academic, and other activities with a connection to American culture or values when such support is of mutual interest to both the requesting organization and the Embassy. The grants allocated are generally for amounts under £3,000.
Examples of programs the Embassy has funded in the past include costs of bringing an American expert speaker or performer to the United Kingdom to participate in an event, conferences on American themes or issues of mutual interest, exhibitions of works by Americans or on American themes, and educational programs. These examples are merely illustrative, not exhaustive. All proposals are considered.
Funding cannot be provided for costs of receptions or food and drink, ongoing salary costs, or office equipment (with some exceptions). Cost-sharing by the requesting organization is an important factor in evaluating grant requests.
If your organization would like to submit an application, please complete the Grant Request Form (Word document, 2 pages) and Budget Form (Excel document, 2 worksheets).
The application requires a detailed description of the activity for which grant funds are being requested and a budget proposal broken down by expenditure category. Applications must be submitted by
01 September 2008 to be considered for the current fiscal year.
For requests and queries please submit completed grant application forms for England, Scotland and Wales to Cultural Affairs Grants Assistant: Sarah-Jane Mayhew at MayhewSJ@state.gov and for Northern Ireland to Public Affairs Assistant: Peter Mckittrick at Mckittrickp@state.gov.
