Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS HONDURAS FY26 01
The U.S. Embassy in Honduras, through the Department of State's Public Diplomacy Section (PDS), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity for FY26 under its Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number: PDS HONDURAS FY26 01). The purpose of the competition is to fund projects that strengthen relationships between the United States and Honduras while advancing key U.S. foreign policy and public diplomacy priorities in the country. Proposed programs are expected to build mutual understanding and highlight U.S. perspectives in ways that are relevant to Honduran audiences and local needs.
The grant is focused on initiatives that align with several priority themes. These include advancing regional security; celebrating U.S. excellence connected to the upcoming 250th anniversary of U.S. independence; supporting regional economic prosperity; promoting the use and adoption of U.S. science, technology, and innovation; and defending freedom of speech. Applicants should design activities that clearly map to one or more of these areas and demonstrate how the program will create sustained engagement, knowledge exchange, or tangible community benefit in Honduras while reinforcing U.S.-Honduras ties.
A core requirement is that every project include a clear "American element." In practice, this means the program must incorporate a connection to the United States through American experts, U.S.-based organizations, or U.S. institutions with recognized experience in the relevant subject area. This American component should not be superficial; it should be integrated into the program design in a way that credibly supports the goal of increasing understanding of U.S. policy, values, approaches, or professional standards within the chosen field.
Eligibility is broad. Applications are open to not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations), public and private educational institutions, and individuals. However, organizational applicants must meet U.S. federal registration requirements: they need a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) obtained through SAM.gov and must maintain an active, valid SAM.gov registration in order to apply. This requirement is central to eligibility and is typically necessary for federal award processing and compliance.
From a funding standpoint, the award ceiling is $40,000 per award, and the embassy anticipates making about five awards. The opportunity is listed under CFDA/Assistance Listing number 19.040, and the funding instrument type is a grant. The posting was created on April 10, 2026, and the application deadline is May 25, 2026. Overall, this opportunity is best suited for applicants who can propose a well-defined, policy-relevant public diplomacy program in Honduras, demonstrate credible implementation capacity, and build a meaningful collaboration or exchange component tied directly to U.S. people, institutions, or expertise.Apply for PDS HONDURAS FY26 01
