The Department of State's Office of Citizen Exchanges manages professional, youth, and cultural programs through grants with non-profit American institutions, including community organizations, professional associations, and universities. This partnership benefits thousands of Americans and foreign visitors taking part in exchanges at the grassroots level, both in the U.S. and abroad.
Grants are awarded to American participants or nonprofit organizations, but individuals are encouraged to have foreign co-sponsors. Programs are based on competition, substantive rigor, and cross-cultural sensitivity.
Funding opportunities are announced during the course of the fiscal year through a series of Requests for Grant Proposals (RFGPs).
For information about these programs, please visit the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' Citizen Exchanges website.
