Opportunity Information: Apply for 2026 01
The Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) in Latvia is a U.S. Embassy grant opportunity focused on funding projects by alumni of U.S. government-funded exchange programs. Through this initiative, alumni are invited to submit proposals for projects that reinforce U.S. policy goals, highlight U.S.-Latvia cooperation, and celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States (America250).
Key themes for eligible proposals include promoting national security, economic growth, entrepreneurship, free speech, fair trade, strong alliances, immigration and border security, and transatlantic cooperation. Projects must serve Latvian audiences and take place outside the U.S., with priority given to initiatives in Latvia. Accepted projects should clearly demonstrate mutual benefits for both Latvia and the U.S. and reflect shared democratic values and cultural connections.
Each project must be led by at least two non-U.S. citizen alumni from eligible exchange programs; U.S. alumni may participate but cannot lead. Projects can be submitted by individuals or NGOs represented by alumni—not by academic or for-profit institutions (though they may act as partners). Cross-program and international alumni teams are encouraged.
Funding ranges from $5,000 to $35,000 per award. Applications are due by March 1, 2026, with decisions announced by June 30, 2026. Projects may begin no earlier than September 15, 2026, and must be completed by September 30, 2027.
Applicants must use the official AEIF 2026 forms and follow specific content and budget guidelines, ensuring proposals are detailed, goal-oriented, and aligned with eligibility requirements. While cost sharing is not required, it is recommended. Certain costs—such as staff salaries, durable equipment, religious or partisan activities—are not eligible for funding.
Proposals must be submitted in English with appropriate supporting documents, including a resume of key personnel and, if applicable, letters of support or permission for specific activities.Apply for 2026 01
