Opportunity Information: Apply for SRB10020FO002
The English Language Program Grants opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Serbia (U.S. Embassy Belgrade). It invites both individuals and organizations to propose and implement projects that support the Embassy's English Language Program in Serbia. The funding is administered through the Embassy's Public Affairs Section (PAS), and proposals are expected to use English-language learning as a practical tool that advances broader community and development goals.
The program is designed to help citizens of Serbia strengthen the education system while also supporting entrepreneurship and economic development, increasing civic engagement, encouraging regional cooperation and stability, and contributing to Serbia's progress toward European Union accession. The Embassy is open to many different project formats, including English language camps, conferences, workshops, courses, hackathons, online initiatives, and other creative activities. Because the notice was issued during the COVID-19 period, applicants are specifically encouraged to submit proposals that can work under public health restrictions, such as projects delivered through video conferencing, distance learning platforms, and other remote or hybrid tools.
Awards under this opportunity have a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $30,000 per grant, and the Embassy anticipated making around 20 awards. The opportunity was posted on April 24, 2020, with an original application deadline of August 31, 2020. The listing is associated with CFDA number 19.900, and the activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting the broad range of possible English-language and community-focused programming approaches.
Applications must be submitted by email only to BelgradeEL@state.gov, and paper or mailed submissions are not accepted. The Embassy emphasizes that applications must be complete by the deadline; incomplete submissions are considered technically ineligible and will not be reviewed for funding. Required application components include the appropriate federal assistance form (SF-424 for organizations or SF-424-I for individuals), SF-424A (budget information for non-construction programs), and in some cases SF-424B (assurances for non-construction programs). SF-424B is required only for applicants that have never registered in SAM.gov or that have not recertified in SAM.gov prior to February 2, 2019. Applicants must also include the U.S. Embassy Belgrade Grant Application Form (as described in the guidelines) and a current CV or resume for the applicant.
There are also key eligibility and registration requirements that depend on whether the applicant is an organization or an individual. Organizations must have a unique entity identifier (noted in the notice as a DUNS number) and must maintain an active registration in the U.S. Government's System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. Individuals, by contrast, do not need a unique entity identifier and are not required to register in SAM.gov to apply.
