Opportunity Information: Apply for OFOP0002192

Forward Together: Strengthening U.S.-El Salvador partnerships for security and prosperity (Funding Opportunity Number OFOP0002192) is a discretionary grant competition from the U.S. Mission to El Salvador designed to fund projects carried out in El Salvador that strengthen stability and deepen cooperation between the United States and Salvadoran communities. The program is broadly focused on reinforcing security and prosperity through practical, locally grounded initiatives that engage Salvadoran audiences and address current challenges, especially around social cohesion and information integrity. In addition to stability-oriented work, the opportunity highlights priorities such as countering disinformation, supporting innovation, and expanding opportunities tied to economic growth, education, and cultural exchange, signaling a preference for projects that can show clear community benefit and strengthen bilateral ties through constructive engagement.

The thematic scope is intentionally wide, which gives applicants room to propose projects that fit their expertise while still aligning with the grant's core aims. Activities could include public education and media literacy efforts that help communities recognize and resist disinformation, initiatives that promote civic resilience and community problem-solving, and programs that connect entrepreneurs, students, educators, artists, or community leaders with tools and networks that spur innovation. The opportunity also explicitly welcomes work that strengthens education pathways and cultural exchange, which can include workshops, dialogue series, speaker programs, training and mentorship models, or collaborative events that promote mutual understanding and expand professional and academic linkages. Overall, the grant appears oriented toward practical, audience-facing programming that is measurable and clearly connected to improving community resilience, economic opportunity, and constructive U.S.-El Salvador collaboration.

Eligibility is open to a range of institution types that can credibly implement programming in El Salvador. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks, civil society groups, and other NGOs), public and private educational institutions, and government institutions. This eligibility mix suggests the funder is open to both community-driven and institution-led approaches, including partnerships that combine strengths across sectors, such as universities working with NGOs, or municipal entities collaborating with civil society and education partners. Since the target is Salvadoran audiences, applicants will likely need to demonstrate strong local relationships, access to participants, and the capacity to implement activities on the ground in El Salvador.

In terms of funding size and competitiveness, the award ceiling is $50,000, and the U.S. Mission to El Salvador expects to make 2 awards. That combination points to a small number of relatively modest grants, so proposals that are sharply focused, realistic in scope, and capable of delivering meaningful outcomes within a limited budget are likely to be more competitive than overly broad designs. The opportunity is offered as a grant under CFDA number 19.040, with an original closing date of August 8, 2025, and a creation date of July 22, 2025. Applicants should plan around that deadline and ensure their budgets and workplans match the ceiling and the likely short-to-medium project scale implied by a $50,000 maximum.

Taken together, this opportunity is essentially a targeted funding call for projects that strengthen Salvadoran community resilience and prosperity while reinforcing positive U.S.-El Salvador engagement. Strong applications will typically be those that clearly define the problem they are addressing (such as vulnerability to disinformation, barriers to innovation, limited educational access, or weak cross-cultural engagement), describe a credible set of activities tailored to specific Salvadoran audiences, and propose tangible outputs and outcomes that fit the grant size.
