International Financial Assistance Projects Sponsered Sponsored By the Office of International Affairs | Office of International Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency | $15,000-$325,000 | contact EPA Grants Administration Division | Unsolicited proposals before 5/15 FY | This announcement is really confusing, but it mentions as one of its objectives "International Capacity Building (water safe to drink)"... there may not currently be grants offered in that area, but I think it would be worth keeping an eye on, and maybe enquiring about to get more information. | ||||
USAID Public Private Alliance Program | USAID | no specified limit | http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/education_and_universities/basic-ed/pp-alliance.htm | grants.gov | submit concept paper to Honduras mission | none, concept papers reviewed periodically | This program looks really interesting. They recommend interested applicants contact the mission first to make sure the project is in line with the missions objectives before submitting a concept paper. It requires "resource leverage" on a 1:1 ratio... at least some of which must be in cash. We would need to specify exactly what our resources are, i.e. technical expertise, knowledge, service hours, etc. | ||
