Opportunity Information: Apply for 24 MMR NOFO 01
The U.S. Embassy Rangoon Public Affairs Small Grants Competition (Funding Opportunity Number: 24 MMR NOFO 01) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Myanmar. Its core purpose is to fund cultural programming that strengthens ties between the United States and Myanmar by highlighting shared values, encouraging bilateral cooperation, and building people-to-people connections. A key requirement is that every proposed activity include a clear American element, such as U.S. cultural content or a direct connection to American experts, organizations, or institutions in a relevant field, with the goal of improving understanding of U.S. policy perspectives as well as U.S. culture and society.
The application process is intentionally structured as a two-step pathway so applicants do not need to develop a full proposal upfront. The first step is submitting a concise Statement of Interest (SOI) that is no longer than two pages. This initial SOI is meant to communicate a program idea, its objectives, and why it matters, but it is not a complete proposal or full budget package. The embassy reviews eligible SOIs and selects the strongest concepts through a merit review process. Only those selected applicants are then invited to move to step two, which is submitting a full proposal that expands the idea into a detailed implementation plan. Full proposals go through a second merit review before the embassy makes final funding decisions.
Funding is offered as a grant, with an award ceiling of $99,999 per award, and the embassy anticipates making about 10 awards. The opportunity was created on October 9, 2023, and the original closing date is September 15, 2024. The program is listed under CFDA number 19.040. Eligibility is described broadly in the notice as “others,” indicating that a range of applicants may be able to apply, including organizations and individuals, as long as they meet the requirements outlined in the full announcement.
The embassy will prioritize projects that align with one or more of four main program areas. The first area focuses on the U.S.-Myanmar bilateral relationship, supporting programs that help Myanmar audiences better understand U.S. policies, culture, and society, while also creating opportunities to emphasize shared values, common interests, and direct relationships between Americans and people in Myanmar. The second area emphasizes supporting an inclusive and diverse society, funding efforts that deepen understanding of diversity and inclusion and encourage tolerance and peace, including work tied to socio-economic development, dialogue initiatives, skills-building, and economic empowerment. The third area covers education and culture, supporting initiatives that promote understanding of U.S. education and culture, help individuals prepare for study in the United States, build linkages between American and Myanmar private academic or cultural institutions, and expand training opportunities for Myanmar students, faculty, and artists. The fourth area targets media literacy, independent media, and press freedom, with support for projects that strengthen digital and media literacy, bolster independent and citizen journalism, and counter disinformation.
Overall, the opportunity is designed for applicants who can propose practical, culturally grounded programs that connect Myanmar communities with American expertise or cultural elements in a way that advances mutual understanding and cooperation. The SOI-first approach rewards strong concepts and clear objectives early on, while reserving the more time-intensive full proposal process for applicants whose ideas best match embassy priorities.Apply for 24 MMR NOFO 01
