Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS JOR FY19 001
The U.S. Embassy in Jordan Public Affairs Section (PAS) FY19 Annual Program Statement (APS), funding opportunity number PAS JOR FY19 001 (CFDA 19.040), is a discretionary small-grants program run by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Jordan. It provides FY2019 Public Diplomacy funding under the Smith-Mundt Act to support projects that advance U.S. Embassy public diplomacy goals in Jordan. The program is designed for relatively small, focused initiatives rather than large-scale development efforts, with an award ceiling of $10,000 per grant and an expected total of about eight awards. As an APS, it outlines priorities and application procedures, and it indicates that submission deadlines are handled on a rolling or multi-date basis (applicants must consult Section D of the full announcement for the specific schedule).
The core purpose of these PAS Small Grants is to fund projects that clearly align with mission priorities, especially those centered on youth and community engagement tied to education, employment, civic participation, and inclusive economic opportunity. The strategic priorities highlighted in the announcement are: (1) encouraging young people to actively plan their studies and identify employment opportunities, (2) inspiring young people to participate in civil society and become more involved in their communities, and (3) supporting broad-based, inclusive economic growth in Jordan. In practice, competitive proposals are expected to show a clear connection between planned activities and one or more of these outcomes, rather than offering general community programming without a direct line to the stated objectives.
Applicants are expected to define target audiences carefully and to quantify expected reach. The APS emphasizes the difference between primary audiences (direct participants) and secondary audiences (people indirectly reached through participants). For example, if a project trains teachers, the teachers are the primary audience, while the students they teach become the secondary audience. This framing signals that PAS is looking for projects with a multiplier effect, where the benefits extend beyond the immediate participants. While the APS is open to various audiences, it identifies two priority audience categories that strengthen alignment: Jordanian youth under age 30, and communities outside the Greater Amman Municipality. Proposals that focus on other groups can still be eligible, but they must make a convincing case for why that audience choice is essential to achieving the program goals.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many types of entities, subject to any additional clarifications in the full notice. The APS also notes that partnerships are not required to apply, but collaboration is encouraged when it improves impact. The embassy specifically points to the value of working with partners, multipliers, and influencers, which typically means organizations or individuals who can expand recruitment, strengthen credibility with communities, help deliver programming, or increase the visibility and sustainability of results.
The APS is also clear about what it will not fund. Ineligible activities include charitable or development assistance activities, construction, projects supporting specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, lobbying for specific legislation or projects, scientific research, projects that promote only one faith or religion, and proposals primarily aimed at the applicant organization’s own institutional growth or maintenance. It also excludes projects that duplicate existing efforts and does not support individual travel for attending conferences or enrolling in courses at educational institutions. These restrictions underline that the program is meant for public diplomacy programming with measurable engagement and outcomes, not humanitarian aid, infrastructure, advocacy, or academic research, and not scholarships or travel-only requests.
Overall, this APS is best understood as a small-grants vehicle for organizations and implementers who can deliver practical, youth-focused programming in Jordan that links education and career planning, civic engagement, and inclusive economic growth, particularly beyond Amman. Strong proposals will spell out a specific problem and audience, a clear activity plan, realistic participation numbers, how secondary reach will occur, and why the approach fits PAS public diplomacy priorities while staying within the $10,000 ceiling and the program’s eligibility and activity limitations.
