Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS MOROCCO FY24 06
The U.S. Embassy in Morocco (Public Affairs Office) is offering a cooperative agreement grant called "U.S. Alumni Capacity Building" (Funding Opportunity Number PAS-MOROCCO-FY24-06, CFDA 19.040) to support a year-long package of alumni engagement activities under the "Alumni Connect" brand during 2024-2025. The overall purpose is to strengthen the network of Moroccan alumni of U.S. government exchange programs by improving their skills, increasing collaboration across regions and sectors, and building more consistent engagement between alumni and the U.S. Embassy. The program is designed to reach roughly 300 alumni of U.S. Department of State exchange programs through a coordinated set of surveys, trainings, networking events, and public-facing content that highlights alumni leadership.
The funded project is expected to deliver several connected components. First, the awardee must run an alumni survey and focus groups to create a baseline picture of alumni interests, needs, and current engagement levels with the Embassy and with other alumni. Based on what the survey reveals, the awardee then organizes alumni capacity-building training, typically centered on project management or other high-demand topics, with both virtual and in-person elements. This training is tied to a small grants competition and a mentorship structure that pairs participants with senior alumni to support project design and implementation. In addition, the program includes a dedicated in-person youth alumni training and networking event in Rabat for recently returned youth alumni, with participation from U.S. Embassy officials and alumni leaders, aimed at keeping new alumni connected and building early leadership skills.
The opportunity also prioritizes visible, regionally diverse convenings and field-specific networking. The awardee will produce two one-day regional alumni summits in two different parts of Morocco, featuring exhibits, panels, workshops, and speakers that showcase alumni work, plus a luncheon component involving U.S. government officials. Alongside the summits, the grantee is expected to hold thematic meetups across Morocco that gather alumni working in specific areas (examples mentioned include environment and tech entrepreneurship) to deepen professional connections, build capacity, and encourage collaboration across different exchange programs and age cohorts. Finally, the program includes a communications deliverable: the creation of alumni leadership multimedia content such as videos, photos, and audio/podcasts that elevate alumni achievements and help sustain visibility for the network.
Applicants are expected to propose a full package plan with a detailed budget and demonstrate they can handle end-to-end implementation. This includes providing logistical support such as transportation arrangements or travel reimbursement, hotel accommodation when needed, event space, meals/receptions, and supplies. It also includes designing the training curriculum, recruiting and managing mentors, coordinating speakers and program content for events, and producing the survey, focus groups, and multimedia deliverables. A monitoring and evaluation plan is required and must be approved by the Public Affairs Office; it should measure impact using pre- and post-surveys as well as qualitative feedback. The awardee must also design and implement the small grants program that is linked to the training sessions, including the process for soliciting, reviewing, and supporting grantee projects.
Funding ranges from USD 100,000 to USD 200,000, with total funding available up to USD 200,000 and an expectation of one award (depending on final award amount). The performance period is 12 months, with the possibility of renewal for up to three years. Funds come from FY24 Smith-Mundt Public Diplomacy resources. Although an anticipated program start date is listed as October 1, 2024, the application instructions also indicate the project should not have an intended start date before January 2025, so applicants need to align their proposed timeline with the solicitation requirements. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Office will be actively involved during implementation, including providing input on participant selection, program content and speakers, and consultation on venues and logistical details.
Eligibility is limited to Moroccan registered associations or NGOs that are nonprofit and either (1) led by alumni of U.S. government exchange programs, or (2) able to show clear experience implementing programs involving alumni of U.S. government exchange programs. Applicants must also meet U.S. government administrative requirements, including obtaining a UEI and completing full SAM.gov registration (and any related registration steps referenced in the NOFO). Cost sharing is not required; there is no minimum or maximum matching percentage for this competition.
Applications were due Monday, May 6, 2024, by midnight, and must be submitted electronically to Rabatgrants@state.gov. The submission package must be in English, with budgets in U.S. dollars, properly formatted (page numbering, 8.5 x 11 layout, and specified Word formatting such as single spacing, 12-point Times New Roman, and 1-inch margins). Required forms and documents include SF-424, SF-424A, SF-424B, a project narrative, an applicant organizational information form, a detailed budget proposal, and CVs for the director and key personnel. Proposals are reviewed in two stages: a technical screening for eligibility and compliance, followed by a Grant Review Committee evaluation by U.S. Mission Morocco staff. The Embassy notes that it does not provide pre-consultation on application questions and will not discuss the competition after submission until the review process is complete.Apply for PAS MOROCCO FY24 06
