Opportunity Information: Apply for M NOFO 18 108
The grant opportunity "Promoting Diversity and Tolerance through Interfaith and Interclass Community Service Projects" is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered by the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai (PAS Mumbai). The project is designed to bring together young people in Nashik, Maharashtra, and use hands-on community service as a practical way to build relationships across religious, cultural, and socio-economic lines. The underlying idea is that shared work on visible local needs can reduce barriers, encourage mutual respect, and create more durable connections than dialogue alone.
Under the program, the selected grantee is expected to recruit youth participants between the ages of 12 and 25 from a mix of backgrounds, ensuring meaningful interfaith and interclass representation. Recruitment is intended to happen through local partner institutions that already have access to youth networks, such as schools, places of worship, and social or community organizations. The grantee is also responsible for identifying up to 10 small- to medium-scale community challenges that volunteer teams can address over a six-month period, with each activity structured so that mixed groups collaborate toward a shared, community-wide benefit.
The types of service projects envisioned are practical and highly visible, including clean-ups of riverbanks or parks, mural painting on public walls, repairs to community spaces such as mosques and temples, restoration or repair of historical sites, and educational or sports engagements with children from underserved areas. Participation levels are expected to vary by activity, generally ranging from about 25 to 75 youth per project. Across the full set of activities, the program anticipates reaching roughly 500 youth total, organized into 10 separate project efforts.
PAS Mumbai plans to support implementation by recruiting additional local volunteers through its network of alumni from U.S. government exchange programs, creating a broader civic-minded support structure around the youth participants and the grantee's work. The opportunity is funded as a grant with an award ceiling of $21,000, with one award expected. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is listed as Education under CFDA 19.040, and the opportunity was posted by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to India, with an original closing date of June 12, 2018. For full requirements and application details, applicants are directed to the complete announcement on grants.gov under opportunity number M NOFO 18 108.Apply for M NOFO 18 108
