Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS AR200 FY25 02
The U.S. Embassy in Argentina, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS), is seeking one qualified, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization to serve as the administrator of the Embassy's Grants Fund in Argentina. Rather than applying to run a single project, applicants are competing to become the primary intermediary that will manage a broader sub-grants program on the Embassy's behalf. The selected organization will run an open, competitive process to award and oversee multiple sub-grants to Argentine organizations whose projects align with the Embassy's priority goals.
The grants fund is focused on three program priorities. The first is sustainable economic growth, including entrepreneurship and the promotion of partnerships that support economic development. The second is strengthening media literacy and press freedom, with an emphasis on countering disinformation. The third is increasing public awareness and engagement around good governance, transparency, and shared democratic principles. Sub-grants issued under this mechanism are expected to clearly fit within one or more of these themes, and the administrator will be responsible for shaping a portfolio of sub-awards that advances these objectives.
The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient should expect ongoing coordination with PAS rather than fully independent implementation. In practical terms, the selected organization will coordinate and publicize the call for sub-grant proposals in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy, help run the review and selection process together with PAS, and manage all communications with sub-awardees. The administrator will also handle payments, maintain complete financial records, oversee project implementation, and manage monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and closeout for each sub-award. A central expectation is that the administrator has the systems and discipline to run a compliant grants program, not simply the subject-matter expertise in the priority areas.
Oversight and compliance are major components of the role. The recipient must monitor sub-awardee performance, track expenditures, and ensure timely and accurate reporting. The administrator is required to maintain adequate documentation showing that sub-awardees are complying with the terms and conditions of their awards, and must be able to provide that documentation to the Grants Officer immediately upon request. This includes keeping records of the sub-award selection methodology, as well as any internal policies and procedures the recipient uses for making, managing, and monitoring sub-awards. In other words, the Embassy is looking for an organization that can demonstrate strong grants management capacity, transparent selection practices, and reliable accountability mechanisms.
Eligibility is limited to registered not-for-profit organizations such as think tanks, civil society groups, NGOs, and cultural and/or educational associations. To qualify, the organization must have headquarters or an established branch in Argentina, demonstrate a solid understanding of the Argentine civil society landscape, and be part of a network of non-profit Argentine organizations, positioning it to run an inclusive and well-publicized competition and to identify credible local implementers. The funding opportunity is issued by the U.S. Mission to Argentina under opportunity number PAS AR200 FY25 02 (CFDA 19.040), with an award ceiling of $250,000, and the Embassy anticipates making one award. The application closing date listed is February 7, 2025, and applicants are directed to consult the full call text for complete requirements and submission details.Apply for PAS AR200 FY25 02
