Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS GEO 19 CA 002 051319
The 2019 TV CO-OP grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS GEO 19 CA 002 051319) is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Georgia program run through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi. It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the education activity area (CFDA 19.900). The central purpose is to support a Georgian television production effort by pairing a PAS-nominated Georgian TV company with a U.S.-based organization that can build and manage a practical filming program in the United States around the working theme: Benefits of Vocational Training, Informal Education, and Entertainment for Youth.
In practical terms, the selected U.S. award recipient is not being funded to film or edit content themselves. Instead, the role is to design and coordinate the on-the-ground U.S. program that makes filming possible and productive. The embassy expects applicants to propose how they would connect the visiting Georgian crew with relevant interview subjects and stakeholders across the United States, including government officials, educators, academic experts, NGOs, and other appropriate interlocutors. The grantee is also expected to help with location scouting and to manage shooting logistics, providing the full range of logistical support needed to execute a multi-stop filming itinerary.
PAS anticipates that the Georgian crew, consisting of one journalist and one cameraman, will return to Georgia and produce either three separate feature stories of roughly 10 minutes each or a single documentary. The Georgian side will bring the necessary filming equipment, handle post-production, and ensure broadcast of the final content. A PAS staff member will escort the team to the United States and provide interpretation if needed, while the award recipient coordinates the schedule and program plan in close collaboration with PAS. Key deliverables from the recipient therefore include a shooting schedule, an interview list, a U.S. domestic travel itinerary, and other planning details that enable filming at multiple locations and facilitate access to high-value interviews and sites.
The funding parameters indicate one expected award with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $50,000. Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S. organizations: nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, with additional eligibility potentially clarified in the full announcement text.
