U.S. Department of State’s Consulate General Peshawar Offers Grant for Lincoln Corner Pop-Ups Initiative

• Not-for-profit organizations
• Civil society/non-governmental organizations
• Public and private educational institutions

For-profit entities, even those that may fall into the categories listed above, are not
eligible to apply for this NOFO. Organizations may sub-contract with other entities, but
only one, non-profit, non-governmental entity can be the prime recipient of the award.
When sub-contracting with other entities, the responsibilities of each entity must be
clearly defined in the proposal.

The U.S. Department of State’s Consulate General Peshawar announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), contingent on funding availability, through the Public Diplomacy Grants Program. The grantee will implement Lincoln Corner Pop-Ups at universities across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). 

This initiative seeks to expand the reach of Consulate Peshawar’s two Lincoln Corners in KP by introducing a mobile version that will visit other universities in the province to promote American values, foster academic exchange, and encourage community building. 

Lincoln Corner Pop-Ups will serve as platforms for public diplomacy, providing resources and opportunities for dialogue, learning, and collaboration. These Pop-Ups will provide resources and equipment similar to the 18 Lincoln Corners across Pakistan. Students and faculty will have access to American resources and learning technologies through the program and will have the chance to interact with U.S. government exchange program alumni.
