Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS GUA FY21 01
The U.S. Embassy Guatemala - PAS Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS GUA FY21 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Guatemala, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS) Small Grants Program. The program is designed to support public diplomacy-style projects that engage Guatemalan audiences and advance shared U.S.-Guatemala priorities through educational, cultural, and professional programming. The opportunity was created on March 15, 2021, with an original closing date of August 31, 2021, and the embassy anticipated making around 20 awards under this announcement.
Projects proposed under this program are expected to be implemented in Guatemala. While in-person activities are clearly eligible, the announcement also notes that virtual programs can be considered as long as they are specifically focused on Guatemalan audiences. In practical terms, this means the primary beneficiaries, participants, or target communities should be in Guatemala, and the content should be relevant to local needs and the embassy priorities outlined in the statement.
The PAS Small Grants Program highlights several example project types that may qualify. These include academic and professional lectures, seminars, workshops, and speaker programs that build knowledge or professional capacity. It also includes artistic and cultural initiatives such as workshops, joint performances, and exhibitions that strengthen cultural ties or broaden access to the arts. Another eligible area is cultural heritage conservation and preservation, which can involve efforts to protect, restore, document, or promote important cultural sites, traditions, and historical resources. Finally, the program supports professional or academic exchanges and related programming, which can help strengthen networks, improve skills, and create longer-term collaboration between institutions and professionals.
To be competitive and eligible, proposed activities must support at least one of the U.S. Embassy goals listed in the announcement. Those goals are: reducing irregular migration to the United States, expanding good governance, improving citizen prosperity, increasing citizen security, and improving export and investment opportunities for U.S. firms. Applicants therefore need to clearly connect their program design to one or more of these outcomes, showing how the activities will contribute to tangible improvements in areas like economic opportunity, community stability, civic participation and transparency, public safety, or trade and investment linkages.
Administrative details provided in the source include that the funding instrument type is listed as "Other" and the funding activity category is also listed as "Other," with clarification intended in the full notice. The CFDA number referenced is 19.040. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," suggesting a range of non-federal entities may apply (with the precise eligible applicant types defined in the full funding notice under additional eligibility information). The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the listing, which typically signals that a specific maximum award amount was not captured in the summary fields or may be described elsewhere in the complete announcement rather than indicating there is no limit in practice.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a flexible small-grants program for Guatemala-based (or Guatemala-focused) public engagement initiatives. Strong proposals would typically pair a concrete set of activities (for example, a workshop series, speaker tour, exchange program, cultural preservation initiative, or exhibition) with a clear plan for reaching Guatemalan participants, measurable outputs and outcomes, and a direct link to at least one embassy strategic goal, especially in areas tied to migration drivers, governance, prosperity, security, or strengthening trade and investment conditions that benefit U.S. firms.Apply for PAS GUA FY21 01
