Opportunity Information: Apply for USMAS 18 YSEALI 002
The 2019 YSEALI Seeds for the Future Program is a U.S. Mission to ASEAN (USASEAN) grant opportunity run through its Public Affairs Section to fund and manage a small grants initiative aimed at young leaders in Southeast Asia. The U.S. government is seeking an implementing partner through a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected awardee would not just receive funding but would also work in coordination with the agency to design, administer, and oversee the program. The core purpose is to run an open, competitive subgrant program that identifies promising youth-led initiatives and helps them carry out practical projects that align with YSEALI priorities.
Under this program model, the main award recipient would administer subgrants of up to USD 15,000 each to youth from all eleven YSEALI countries. After a public application process, up to 20 subgrant winners would be selected. Each winner would then implement a project lasting about nine months. The projects are expected to fall within YSEALI's four core issue areas (the solicitation does not list them in the excerpt, but the intent is that projects should match YSEALI's established thematic priorities). In practical terms, the program is structured to move beyond one-time events and support sustained, time-bound implementation that can demonstrate results over the nine-month period.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The award ceiling for the prime cooperative agreement is USD 330,000. The funding activity category is community development, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.040. The U.S. Mission to ASEAN is the issuing agency, and the expected number of awards is not specified in the provided data, although the text makes clear that the program would select up to 20 subgrant recipients under the prime award.
Eligibility to apply for the prime cooperative agreement is broad. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations (such as think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations), public and private educational institutions, individuals, public international organizations, and governmental institutions. The funding opportunity number is USMAS 18 YSEALI 002. The notice was created on 2018-08-15, and the original closing date for applications was 2018-09-15.Apply for USMAS 18 YSEALI 002
