Small Grants Program

The United States Mission to the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva advances U.S. policy at more than 100 international organizations in Geneva. The U.S. Mission engages daily on issues as diverse as humanitarian assistance, global health, international trade, peace and security, arms control, and human rights.

The Program:

The United States Mission in Geneva is accepting project proposals for its fiscal year 2020 Small Grants Program. The Small Grants Program permits individuals, non-government organizations, think tanks, and government and academic institutions to seek funding for projects that promote U.S. policy priorities in the multilateral sphere. All programs must include a U.S. element or connection. Awards will be made to successful applicants subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Programs can include, but are not limited to, academic and professional lectures or panel discussion; exhibitions and cultural programs; professional and academic exchanges; professional development workshops and training; or public awareness campaigns.

Priority Program Areas:

Though all submitted projects will be considered for funding, we are currently giving priority to projects that highlight:

• Human rights, including protection of human rights defenders
• Freedom of religion or belief
• Promoting peace and security
• Public-private partnerships
• Preserving core UN values
• Promoting transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the UN system
