Opportunity Information: Apply for BUCHAREST PAS FY19 02
The grant opportunity titled "Romania: Debate Clubs for High Schools in Select Counties" (Funding Opportunity Number BUCHAREST PAS FY19 02) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Mission to Romania through the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest. It focuses on humanities-related programming and is intended to support the creation and operation of debate clubs for high school students in nine targeted counties: Botosani, Calarasi, Caras-Severin, Gorj, Hunedoara, Ialomita, Neamt, Teleorman, and Vaslui. The core idea is to strengthen civic engagement and education by giving students structured opportunities to practice debate, critical thinking, public speaking, argumentation, and respectful dialogue.
Applicants are expected to be non-profit Romanian organizations and institutions that can demonstrate relevant activity and experience in education and civic engagement, and they must have no political affiliations. While the general eligible applicant categories listed for the opportunity include independent school districts, public or state-controlled higher education institutions, and both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits (as defined in the source listing), the narrative emphasis is clearly on Romanian non-profit entities capable of implementing education and civic programs locally and credibly, without partisan ties.
The project timeline is clearly defined: the program is designed to run over a 12-month period and is expected to begin in October 2019. Proposals must also include a concrete plan for sustainability, meaning the debate clubs should have a realistic path to continue operating after the grant period ends. That continuation plan could involve local partnerships, training of teachers or facilitators, integration into school extracurricular offerings, volunteer mentor networks, community sponsorship, or other mechanisms that keep the clubs active beyond the initial funding.
In terms of funding parameters, the award ceiling is USD 35,000, setting the maximum amount any single award can receive. The original application closing date was July 31, 2019, and the opportunity was created on May 31, 2019. The funding instrument type is a grant. The listing indicates expected awards but does not specify a number, so applicants would need to design proposals that are competitive and complete without assuming multiple awards will be made.
Overall, this opportunity supports a targeted educational initiative in specific Romanian counties, aiming to build lasting debate club infrastructure for high school students within one year of funded activities, while requiring applicants to demonstrate capacity, relevant experience, non-political status, and a practical plan for long-term continuation.Apply for BUCHAREST PAS FY19 02
