Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS GEO 21 003 012621
The Democracy Commission Small Grants Program (DemCom) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi (U.S. Mission to Georgia) to support locally led projects that strengthen democracy in Georgia. The program was originally launched by the United States in 1994 as a flexible way for U.S. embassies to back democratic initiatives across Central and Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet region. In Georgia, the program is managed through the Embassy's Democracy Commission, which is chaired by the Deputy Chief of Mission and includes the Public Affairs Officer, other members of the Country Team, and representatives from other U.S. government agencies.
The core aim of the funding is to help advance democratic governance and civic life in Georgia. Projects are expected to support democracy, contribute to the development and strengthening of democratic institutions, and promote civic education and the growth of an informed and engaged civil society. The opportunity is designed for specific, project-based activities rather than broad organizational support, with an emphasis on practical initiatives that can show clear public benefit and democratic impact.
Eligible applicants must be based and registered in Georgia. The opportunity is open to Georgian non-governmental and non-profit organizations, including civil society organizations and think tanks, as well as higher education institutions and independent media outlets registered in the country. In the official eligibility categories, both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education are included, along with other qualifying applicants that fit the program's requirements.
Awards are issued as grants, with a maximum (ceiling) of USD 50,000 per project. The funding opportunity is listed under the number DOS GEO 21 003 012621 and is associated with CFDA 19.900. The activity areas tied to the opportunity include community development, education, regional development, and other related democracy-supporting activities. The notice was created on January 26, 2021, and the original closing date for submissions was March 15, 2021.Apply for DOS GEO 21 003 012621
