Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2022 004
The Iraqi Alumni Association Development grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS BAGHDAD PD 2022 004) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State award administered by the U.S. Mission to Iraq. It is designed to help rebuild and strengthen three Iraqi alumni associations that represent former participants of U.S. government-funded exchange programs who traveled to the United States, such as IYLEP, IVLP, Fulbright, and similar programs. The three target associations are organized by region: the Southern Chapter (IIAA Iraqi Independent Alumni Association), the Central Chapter (DHA Development Horizon Association), and the Northern Chapter (EPA Exchange Program Alumni). These alumni groups were originally founded in 2014 to create a structured way for exchange alumni to stay connected through networking, professional development, community service, and ongoing engagement with the U.S. Mission. In recent years, especially during the COVID period, their activity levels declined, and the grant seeks to restore momentum and improve their long-term sustainability.
The core purpose of the project is organizational development across all three chapters, with an emphasis on helping them function as capable, legally compliant, and active civil society organizations. The opportunity calls for support in reworking or clarifying each association's vision, mission, and goals, and then translating those statements into practical organizational and leadership structures. This includes leadership training and capacity building so the associations can operate effectively with clear governance, defined roles, and the skills needed to manage programs, volunteers, and internal decision-making. A key deliverable is assistance with completing the process of legally re-registering as nongovernmental organizations, which is framed as part of strengthening their legitimacy and operational readiness.
Beyond internal development, the grant also focuses on helping the alumni associations plan and execute meaningful activities that reflect their missions and goals while aligning with the priorities of Embassy Baghdad and the United States Government. This includes developing a coherent activity plan rather than isolated events, ensuring programming is intentional, realistic, and able to demonstrate impact. The opportunity also highlights the practical management side of running an organization: fundraising planning, budgeting, communications strategy, and outreach. Stronger communications and outreach are expected to support both public visibility and recruitment of new members, specifically individuals who meet eligibility requirements as U.S. exchange alumni. In other words, the project is not only about restarting the associations, but also about expanding and refreshing their membership base so they remain relevant and representative.
From a funding and eligibility standpoint, the award is structured as a grant with an award ceiling of $250,000 and an expectation of one award. The CFDA number listed is 19.021. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status in the United States (excluding institutions of higher education), meaning the implementing organization is expected to be a U.S.-registered nonprofit capable of carrying out capacity-building work with Iraqi partners. The opportunity was posted on April 15, 2022, with an original closing date of May 20, 2022, indicating a defined submission window and a competitive selection process within that period. Overall, the grant is aimed at reactivating and professionalizing the three Iraqi alumni associations so they can sustainably serve exchange alumni, deliver community value, and maintain constructive engagement with the U.S. Mission in Iraq.Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2022 004
