BOLD Alumni Small Grants

The United States Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), through the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS), is pleased to announce a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the BOLD (Balkanski Omladinski Lideri, Young Balkan Leaders) Alumni Small Grants Competition for BiH BOLD fellowship alumni. The BOLD network is a project of PDS that seeks to empower young people across BiH, ages 18-35, through leadership opportunities and training, to implement projects for positive change in their communities across BiH. The goal of these small grants, up to $15,000 each, is to empower BOLD fellowship alumni to apply the knowledge acquired during their fellowship by implementing projects in their communities that will contribute to economic development or encourage increased civic engagement. Project proposals must be submitted in the name of one BOLD fellowship alumnus/alumna who will be responsible for receiving funds and maintaining oversight of those funds. However, that applicant may apply with one or more additional BOLD fellowship alumni and the project may be implemented in partnership with other BOLD network members, organizations, government authorities, or educational institutions.
