The U.S. Embassy to Libya is offering small grants through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program. These grants aim to support projects that build community capacity, promote social good, and enhance understanding between Libyans and Americans. The focus is on arts initiatives, leadership and community engagement, youth development in STEAM fields, and environmental projects. Grants can range from $500 to $25,000, and applicants are encouraged to propose initiatives that align with U.S. values and promote diversity and inclusion.
Who it's for: This grant is for individuals or organizations in Libya interested in projects that promote unity, leadership, and technological development among youth, women, and underserved communities.
