Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS HON AEIF FY25 02
The Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) 2025 is a competitive grant opportunity offered by the Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa for alumni of U.S. government-sponsored or U.S. government-facilitated exchange programs in Honduras. The purpose of the fund is to help former exchange participants build on the skills, knowledge, and networks they gained during their U.S.-supported exchange experience and turn them into practical, community-focused projects. AEIF is positioned as a way to deepen long-term engagement with exchange alumni, support U.S. foreign policy priorities, and increase the overall impact and return on investment of U.S. exchange programs. Globally, AEIF has funded nearly 500 alumni-led projects since it began in 2011, and the Honduras competition is part of that broader worldwide initiative.
For this 2025 cycle, the Embassy in Honduras is looking for project proposals that are created and managed by teams of at least two alumni. The program is especially interested in ideas that align with key themes: reducing the causes of irregular or illegal migration, fostering economic growth, promoting entrepreneurship, encouraging the use or application of U.S. technology and innovation, and strengthening education and English-language learning as a pathway to economic development. In practical terms, applicants should be proposing concrete activities that address community challenges through innovation, skills-building, and locally relevant solutions, rather than one-off events with limited long-term effect.
Eligibility is tightly focused on exchange alumni. Proposals must be submitted either by eligible alumni themselves or by alumni associations made up of U.S. government exchange alumni; other organizations are not allowed to apply as the primary applicant. Alumni may partner with outside institutions such as nonprofits, NGOs, think tanks, or academic organizations to carry out activities, but the alumni team remains the lead and is responsible for the project. Another key rule is that alumni who are U.S. citizens cannot submit an application as the lead applicant, although U.S. citizen alumni are allowed to participate as members of a project team.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Mission to Honduras under CFDA 19.022, with a funding instrument type listed as a grant. The award ceiling is $35,000, and the Embassy anticipates making about two awards. The funding opportunity is identified as "PDS HON AEIF FY25 02." Applications are due by April 30, 2025, at 11:59 pm Central Standard Time (CST), and should be submitted by email to hondurasalumni@state.gov (the posting also lists an official closing date of May 1, 2025, but the instruction in the description emphasizes the April 30 deadline and time). Applicants are expected to confirm that their exchange program qualifies by referencing the State Department alumni exchange program list or the J-1 program listings, as indicated in the announcement.Apply for PDS HON AEIF FY25 02
