Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS KIGALI FY24 01
The U.S. Embassy in Kigali is inviting applications for the 2024 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2024), a competitive grant opportunity meant specifically for alumni of U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. The core idea is to help past exchange participants take the skills, networks, and experience they gained during their U.S.-supported exchange and turn them into practical, alumni-led projects that address real challenges in their communities. Proposals must be submitted by email to KigaliPDGrants@state.gov no later than January 22, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. Kigali time.
AEIF is positioned as a global program with a track record: since 2011 it has supported nearly 500 alumni-led projects worldwide. For the 2024 round, the Embassy highlights themes tied to U.S. priorities, especially increasing economic growth, strengthening human capital, and promoting democracy, good governance, and the rule of law. In practice, applicants are expected to design innovative, community-focused activities that fit within these broad objectives and show clear public benefit and measurable impact.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be alumni of a U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange program (including programs connected to the J-1 exchange visitor platform). Proposals must come from teams made up of at least two alumni, not from a single individual acting alone. Alumni who are U.S. citizens are not allowed to submit proposals as the applicants, but they may participate as team members on a project. Teams can be mixed across different exchange programs and can include alumni from different countries, which gives applicants flexibility to build the strongest possible team for the idea they want to implement.
Only exchange alumni or alumni associations of U.S. government exchange alumni are allowed to apply; other organizations are not eligible to apply on their own. That said, alumni teams are allowed to partner with external organizations such as non-profits, NGOs, think tanks, and universities to carry out activities. The award itself can be issued either directly to the individual alumni leading the project or to a partner organization, which can be helpful when implementation requires an organizational bank account, procurement systems, or local operational capacity.
