U.S. Consulate Naha Cultural Grants Program

Description: The goal of the U.S. Consulate's Cultural Grants Program is to support programs that share the richness and diversity of American culture with the Japanese public and to promote mutual understanding and cultural dialogue between the United States and Japan. Grants generally range between $1,000 and $15,000 and are awarded to non-profit organizations and institutions for artistic and cultural performances, guest speakers/directors/performers, the rights to American works, exhibits, workshops, etc., which further the goals of the U.S. Embassy’s mission in Japan. Grant proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis, and proposals should be submitted 3-6 months before the planned event or activity.
