Opportunity Information: Apply for HRV2021NOFO001
The Embassy Croatia - Alumni Small Grants Program 2021 (Funding Opportunity Number HRV2021NOFO001) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Croatia. It was announced on January 19, 2021, with proposals due by February 26, 2021. The program is designed to fund small-scale, practical projects in Croatia that reflect shared U.S.-Croatian priorities, with a specific focus on ideas led by people who have direct experience with U.S. exchange and education programs.
Eligibility is centered on two groups: alumni of U.S. Government-sponsored programs and Croatian citizens who have studied at U.S. high schools or universities. In other words, the opportunity targets applicants who can draw on U.S. academic or exchange experience and translate it into local impact through workshops, trainings, public education, community initiatives, or other applied activities. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.040. The program anticipates making around five awards, with an award ceiling of up to $25,000 per project, signaling that proposals should be focused, achievable, and clearly scoped rather than large multi-year efforts.
Proposed projects are expected to address at least one of several themes. A major track emphasizes educational programs and initiatives that promote a more transparent business environment and help improve Croatia's investment climate, such as training or awareness-building around good governance, compliance, ethical business practices, or anti-corruption norms. Another priority is strengthening ties between U.S. and Croatian businesses and organizations to support shared economic success, including entrepreneurship-focused efforts that connect networks, encourage innovation, or help startups and small businesses develop skills and partnerships.
The call also highlights digital and emerging technology skills, especially educational and training programs in artificial intelligence, gaming, and cybersecurity in the context of 5G technology and broader digitalization. Applicants could reasonably interpret this as support for capacity-building activities that improve technical literacy, workforce readiness, or institutional awareness of cyber risk and responsible technology adoption. In parallel, the opportunity prioritizes inclusion-focused programming that supports women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups by expanding their political, security, economic, and civic participation. This could include leadership development, mentorship, community organizing, professional training, or programs that reduce barriers to participation and increase representation.
Energy cooperation and energy security form another key theme, pointing to projects that build understanding of energy diversification, resilience, policy approaches, or cooperation frameworks that strengthen Croatia's and the region's energy posture. The opportunity further encourages programs that build regional cross-border cooperation and promote understanding of the past, specifically including Holocaust education and legacy issues. This theme suggests support for historical education initiatives, dialogue programs, curriculum or teacher development, and cross-community engagement that addresses difficult histories in a constructive and informed way.
Finally, the program places special attention on teachers and students at both the high school and university levels. It seeks projects that develop innovative teaching methods, promote academic integrity, and encourage civic engagement, implying a strong interest in modern pedagogy, ethics in education, critical thinking, and student participation in community and democratic life. Overall, the grant supports targeted, community-facing projects that can demonstrate clear outcomes on one or more of these priorities, within a modest budget and a short, practical implementation scope.Apply for HRV2021NOFO001
