A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The United States Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, through the Office of Public Affairs (OPA), is pleased to announce a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the BOLD (BiH Omladinski Lideri, Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders) Small Grants Competition.
The BOLD network is a project of OPA that seeks to empower young people across BiH, age 18-35, through leadership opportunities and training, to implement projects for positive change in their communities.
The goal of these small grants, up to $15,000, is to empower BOLD members to develop their leadership skills by implementing projects in their communities that will contribute to economic development or encourage increased civic engagement.
Project proposals may be submitted by one BOLD member or a group of BOLD members and may be implemented in partnership with organizations, government authorities, or educational institutions.
*Grant activities are expected to be completed within 12 months of awarding the funds. However, due to the uncertainty of circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, winning proposals may be considered for extension to accommodate any necessary in-person activities.
Mandatory components:
- Applicants should propose a project that will improve a community in BiH in the area of economic development or civic engagement. Outcomes of proposals can include developing a business or business plan that will involve more people in the economy, or encouraging more people to be involved in community development, or starting an initiative to address a specific problem in the community that citizens can work on together to solve.
- A community can be in one or more specific locations or can be a targeted group that the project brings together online. The proposal should clearly state who the audience is and the beneficiaries of the project.
- Applicants should present a plan for engaging the BOLD network in the planning, implementation, or the outcomes of the project. Applicants may solicit assistance or participation from other BOLD members or report out to the network about the progress, successes, and lessons learned throughout the project activities.
- Winning grantees will work closely with a mentor, provided by OPA, to fulfill all of the grant responsibilities and to report on the progress of the project to OPA.
A detailed budget should be expressed in USD, with a maximum amount of $15,000. OPA reserves the right to reduce, revise, or increase proposal budgets, participant numbers, based on program needs and the availability of U.S. government funding.
