Embassy small grants
Our sources follow 3 embassy small-grant schemes for Tunisia: U.S. embassy public diplomacy grants (PAS); Japan Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP); Swiss embassy Small Action funds. None has a call open at the moment. Amounts and dates below come from the calls we have recorded; the embassy's own page always has the current rules.
Public Affairs Sections of U.S. embassies post Annual Program Statements and small grant notices on grants.gov, open to local non-profits among others.
Japanese embassies fund grassroots projects by non-profit organisations and local bodies under GGP (Kusanone). Each embassy publishes its own guidelines and application period.
Some Swiss embassies run small funds for local initiatives and announce the calls on their own pages of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs site.
Most schemes open once a year and give a few weeks to apply. Prepare your registration documents and a short project idea now, read embassy small grants explained, and create a free profile to have open calls screened for your organisation.
