Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS COL 2021 ASACKACC
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Sri Lanka (U.S. Embassy Colombo) Public Affairs Section (PAS), offered a Public Diplomacy grant opportunity to provide administrative support for two American Spaces in Sri Lanka, one located in Kandy and one in Colombo. American Spaces are U.S. government-supported cultural and information centers that operate as part of a worldwide network of more than 600 State Department-sponsored venues. These spaces typically focus on youth-oriented educational and cultural activities, creating platforms for learning, engagement, and exchange around topics connected to the United States and broader shared priorities.
This funding opportunity was set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would not simply run a project independently, but would work closely with PAS, with significant PAS input and assistance in planning and implementing activities. The core purpose of the award was to keep the American Spaces functioning smoothly from an operational and administrative standpoint so that programming can be delivered reliably and professionally across both sites.
Under the award, the recipient would be expected to manage key administrative components of the American Spaces program. That includes staffing support for the selected corners/spaces, coordinating logistics for trainings (such as scheduling, coordination, and practical arrangements), and ensuring ongoing equipment and facility maintenance so the spaces remain usable, safe, and properly equipped for public programming. In addition to operational responsibilities, the recipient would also help with implementing American Spaces programming, supporting the delivery of educational and cultural events while coordinating closely with PAS.
The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number PAS COL 2021 ASACKACC and was categorized as mandatory, with an “Other” funding activity classification (as specified in the notice). It carried a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $150,000, and the Embassy anticipated making up to two awards. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number associated with the opportunity was 19.040, which aligns with U.S. public diplomacy programming. The opportunity was posted on June 7, 2021, with an original application deadline of July 15, 2021. Eligibility was listed broadly as “Others,” with further clarification intended to be provided in the full announcement’s eligibility section.Apply for PAS COL 2021 ASACKACC
