Opportunity Information: Apply for 008 FY2021
The Bold Initiatives Small Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically the Embassy's Office of Public Affairs (OPA). It is built around the BOLD (BiH Omladinski Lideri, Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders) network, an OPA-supported initiative designed to strengthen and connect young leaders across Bosnia and Herzegovina. The program focuses on helping people ages 18 to 35 turn leadership training and community engagement into practical, on-the-ground projects that create visible, positive change in their local communities.
At its core, the grant competition aims to empower BOLD members by giving them the resources to design and implement community projects that either support economic development or encourage stronger civic engagement. In other words, the Embassy is looking for projects that help communities grow economically (such as initiatives that improve employability, entrepreneurship, skills development, or local economic activity) and/or projects that increase public participation and community problem-solving (such as civic education, volunteerism, community organizing, local advocacy, or initiatives that encourage people to take part in public life). A key theme is leadership development through real implementation, meaning applicants are expected to lead a concrete effort and demonstrate initiative, planning, and community impact.
Funding is available up to a ceiling of USD 15,000 per award, with an anticipated total of around 10 awards. Proposals can be submitted by an individual BOLD member or by a group of BOLD members working together. While the applicants themselves are BOLD members, the program allows and encourages collaboration: projects may be carried out in partnership with civil society organizations, government authorities, or educational institutions, which can help broaden reach, add expertise, and support long-term sustainability. The opportunity was published May 11, 2021, with an original application deadline of June 11, 2021. The listing is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 008 for FY2021, and it is associated with CFDA 19.900.Apply for 008 FY2021
