Opportunity Information: Apply for 2024 MMR NOFO 02
The U.S. Embassy in Rangoon is offering funding through the 2024 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2024), a competitive grant program designed specifically for alumni of U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. The core idea is to help exchange alumni take the skills, networks, and experience they gained during their exchange and turn them into practical, community-facing projects that address real public needs. The Embassy is inviting proposals from teams, not individuals, and is emphasizing that alumni are welcome to apply even if they are currently living outside Burma (Myanmar), as long as the project itself is implemented outside the United States and U.S. territories.
This AEIF round is framed around U.S. support for efforts that help restore Burma's path toward inclusive democracy and strengthen long-term stability and economic prosperity. The Embassy will consider public service projects that clearly align with the funding priorities listed in the announcement. Those themes include promoting a more equitable and inclusive society, respecting ethnic and religious diversity, improving media literacy and countering disinformation, advancing human rights advocacy, expanding access to education, encouraging civic engagement, delivering public service activities focused on vulnerable communities, strengthening relationships between alumni and the U.S. government, and building linkages between Myanmar and U.S. institutions. A key point in the notice is that proposals must directly address the stated themes; applications that do not match these objectives are considered ineligible.
Eligibility is tightly defined around alumni status and team structure. Applicants must be alumni of a U.S. government-funded or sponsored exchange program, including those connected to U.S. government-sponsored exchange programming such as J-1 related exchanges. Each proposed project must be led by a team of at least two alumni, and teams can include alumni from different programs and even different countries. While U.S. citizen alumni are allowed to participate as team members, they are not permitted to submit proposals as the applicants. Only exchange alumni or associations of U.S. government exchange alumni can apply; other organizations cannot apply on their own. That said, alumni teams are allowed to partner with external entities such as nonprofits, NGOs, think tanks, and academic institutions to carry out activities, and the award can be issued either directly to an individual alumni applicant or to a partner organization, depending on how the project is structured.
In terms of funding details, this opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant under CFDA 19.022 by the U.S. Mission to Myanmar. The award ceiling is $35,000 per grant, and the Embassy expects to make about two awards under this notice. The funding opportunity number is 2024 MMR NOFO 02. The original application deadline listed in the notice is February 12, 2024, and the opportunity was posted on November 30, 2023. Applicants are directed to consult the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) attachments in the "Related Documents" section for the complete requirements, required application components, and submission instructions.Apply for 2024 MMR NOFO 02
