The U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs administers a small grants program to support projects that strengthen cultural ties between the United States and the Palestinian people. All programs are strongly encouraged to include an American cultural element or a connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. These small grants serve as one-time opportunities that can help launch projects that should be sustainable after the project period is over. Grants available in this program cannot be used to support ongoing operational costs, construction, scientific research, partisan political activity, trade activities, fundraising campaigns, or commercial products. Further restrictions may apply.
This page is periodically updated with new links and announcements about funding opportunities, so please check back often.

Types of Awards
There are three types of awards. The appropriate award type may vary depending on the nature of the project proposed, and will be determined during pre-award negotiations with successful applicants. The three types are: fixed amount awards, cooperative agreements, and standard grants. Fixed amount awards are appropriate when costs are highly predictable. Cooperative agreements are appropriate when there will be substantial involvement by the U.S. government in project implementation. Awards that do not fit either of these categories will be issued as standard grants.
