Through the Public Diplomacy Section small grants program, the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen and Consulate in Nuuk provides partial support for artistic and cultural performances, educational initiatives and non-governmental organization (NGO) projects whose aim is to promote and deepen the understanding and appreciation of American foreign policy and culture.
The Embassy elicits proposals with outstanding merit that support the U.S. Government’s broad goals of fostering mutual cooperation. In deciding which projects to support, the Embassy will give consideration to the full range and diversity of Danish organizations – cultural, NGO and educational – and will seek to target geographically and demographically diverse audiences in Denmark. Applications for the Small Grants Program should not exceed $10,000.
Preference will be given to institutions and individuals with a proven track record of executing superior events, workshops and programs.
Applications should have an American component. Projects incorporating an American speaker, artist, performer, author, etc., are considered stronger.
Applications requesting Embassy co-financing are considered stronger.
Applications should focus on one or more of the Embassy’s priority themes and initiatives (see below):
