The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (NEA) offers funding to partner with Syrian civil society organizations (CSOs). This grant addresses critical stabilization challenges in northeast Syria and northern Aleppo, where communities endure severe deprivations from years of conflict. CSOs are vital for community service and align with U.S. policy interests. Supported projects will advance peaceful coexistence, strengthen accountability, and enhance CSO capacity to serve all Syrians. Proposals should prioritize the inclusion of marginalized groups, including women, youth, and religious/ethnic minorities, ensuring comprehensive community representation and empowerment.
