Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 20 AW 001 12182019
This funding opportunity, titled "Administrative Support - Islamabad Regional District Lincoln Corners" (Opportunity Number: SCAISB 20 AW 001 12182019), is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Pakistan grant issued by the U.S. Embassy Islamabad Public Affairs Section (PAS) through its Information Resource Center (IRC). It is offered under the Public Diplomacy grants program and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. Embassy expects to stay closely involved in shaping and supporting the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program falls under CFDA 19.501 and is listed as a discretionary opportunity in an "Other" funding activity category.
The core purpose of the award is to provide administrative and operational support for six Lincoln Corners within the Islamabad Regional District. These include three Lincoln Corners in the Islamabad Capital Territory, plus one each in Rawalpindi, Muzaffarabad, and Skardu. The notice also signals that additional Lincoln Corners could be created later if PAS directs it, so applicants should be prepared for potential expansion or shifting priorities within the same overall framework.
Lincoln Corners are part of the American Spaces program, a global network of more than 700 U.S. State Department-supported cultural and information centers. In Pakistan, Lincoln Corners function as youth-oriented educational and cultural hubs. They typically serve as platforms for programming that supports learning, engagement, and exposure to U.S. culture and values through events, workshops, speaker sessions, skills trainings, and related community activities, with a strong emphasis on young audiences.
Under this award, the recipient is not primarily being asked to design the entire program independently; instead, the recipient is expected to run the administrative backbone that keeps these centers functional and consistent. Key responsibilities include staffing the selected Lincoln Corners, handling training logistics (such as coordinating trainings for staff, arranging venues or resources, and supporting implementation), and ensuring equipment and facilities are maintained. In addition to these operational duties, the recipient will also support the implementation of Lincoln Corners programming, but with significant PAS input and assistance, reflecting the cooperative nature of the agreement and the Embassy's active role in guiding programming decisions.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $130,000. The opportunity was posted on December 18, 2019, and originally closed on January 31, 2020. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details expected in the full announcement, suggesting that nontraditional applicants (potentially local organizations, NGOs, or other entities capable of managing multi-site operations) may have been considered depending on the specific criteria described in the complete solicitation.Apply for SCAISB 20 AW 001 12182019
