Opportunity Information: Apply for TIRDEMCOMMR1FY24
The Democracy Commission Program, Round 1 FY2024 is a grant funding opportunity announced by the U.S. Embassy in Tirana under the U.S. Department of State. It is designed to support projects that strengthen democratic practices and institutions in Albania, with funding directed toward locally led initiatives that address core governance and rights-related challenges. The opportunity is listed as an earmark grant (Funding Opportunity Number TIRDEMCOMMR1FY24) under CFDA 19.900, and it focuses on practical, impact-oriented programming within Albania as the priority region.
The program is open only to Albanian not-for-profit entities, including civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations, and think tanks. U.S. organizations and individuals are explicitly not eligible to apply under this round, which reinforces the program’s emphasis on local capacity and local ownership. Applicants do not need to provide cost sharing or matching funds, and cost share is not used as an evaluation factor; however, applicants are encouraged to contribute cost share when feasible, which can signal sustainability or broader stakeholder buy-in even though it is not required.
Eligible project topics are broad but clearly aligned with democracy, accountability, and civic resilience. The Embassy lists priority areas that include anti-corruption and good governance, support for human rights and minority rights, and reforms that improve transparency, integrity, and democratic participation. The opportunity also highlights cyber-security as an eligible topic, reflecting the increasing importance of digital resilience for civil society, institutions, and information integrity. Additional eligible themes include women’s empowerment and youth activism, indicating interest in programs that expand participation and representation, develop civic leadership, and support inclusive engagement. Environmental and climate change-related initiatives are also eligible, particularly where they intersect with governance, public accountability, community participation, or rights-based approaches. The call further includes combatting human trafficking and investigative journalism, suggesting support for efforts that protect vulnerable populations, strengthen rule of law, and improve the public’s access to credible information through accountability reporting.
The application window for this round closed on February 12, 2024 (original closing date), and the opportunity was created on January 12, 2024. The stated award ceiling is $24,000 per award, positioning these as small grants intended for targeted interventions, pilots, localized campaigns, trainings, community-based initiatives, research and advocacy efforts, or other focused activities that can demonstrate measurable results within a reasonable scope. The announcement notes that the Embassy is running an open competition, meaning proposals are competitively reviewed against the program’s priorities and compliance with the stated eligibility and instructions.Apply for TIRDEMCOMMR1FY24
