Opportunity Information: Apply for SRB10019FO0001
The Alumni Small Grants Program (Funding Opportunity Number SRB10019FO0001) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Serbia. It is designed to support projects connected to Serbian alumni of official U.S. Government-funded exchange programs. In practical terms, the program is meant to help alumni take what they learned during their exchange experiences and turn it into concrete activities or initiatives that can benefit their communities, professional fields, or broader Serbian society.
The opportunity is specifically tied to the long-running set of U.S. Government exchange programs that have included Serbian participants since 2001. The notice lists a wide range of eligible alumni networks and program backgrounds, including the Serbia Youth Leadership Program (SYLP), Youth Leadership Program with Central Europe (YLPCE), American Serbia-Montenegro Youth Leadership Exchange (A-SMYLE), Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Initiative, Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD), Community Solutions, Community Connections, International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), Open World, Global Sports Mentoring Program, Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP), Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program, Fulbright Visiting Scholar, Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX), Ron Brown Fellowship Program, Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI), and the Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative (YTILI). The overall idea is that alumni from these programs are positioned as multipliers who can spread skills, build partnerships, and create follow-on projects after returning home.
The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under “Other” as the funding activity type (with the details implied to be explained elsewhere in the full announcement). The program is listed under CFDA number 19.900, which is commonly associated with Department of State public diplomacy and exchange-related assistance. While the eligibility field is labeled “Others,” it also notes that additional eligibility information is provided in a separate section of the full opportunity, suggesting that the competition likely targets alumni groups, alumni-led organizations, or other nonstandard applicant types connected to exchange program alumni rather than only traditional categories like universities or NGOs.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $20,000, and the opportunity anticipated making around 20 awards. That combination signals relatively small, project-based grants intended to fund focused activities rather than large multi-year programs. The timeline for submission was structured in multiple rounds, with deadlines listed as Round 1 on 03/31/2019, Round 2 on 04/30/2019, and Round 3 on 06/15/2019, with the original closing date also shown as June 15, 2019. This rolling, multi-round approach usually indicates an effort to give applicants several chances to apply and to allow the Mission to review and fund strong proposals as they come in.
Overall, this opportunity can be understood as a way for the U.S. Mission to Serbia to strengthen and mobilize the existing community of exchange alumni by providing small amounts of funding for alumni-driven projects. It reinforces the long-term impact of U.S.-Serbia exchange programming by encouraging alumni to stay engaged, collaborate with one another, and implement practical initiatives that extend the benefits of their exchange experience beyond the individual participant.Apply for SRB10019FO0001
