Opportunity Information: Apply for C NOFO 20 102
The Anti-racism workshop grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to India (Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Consulate General in Chennai) funding call to support a public diplomacy program focused on addressing discrimination and encouraging policy reform through the lens of "anti-racism." The program centers on planning and delivering a two-day, train-the-trainer style workshop at the American Center in Chennai. The workshop is expected to be led by one U.S. expert, alongside five Indian experts serving as resource persons, and to engage 40 young community leaders, activists, and social media influencers, with the intent that participants will be equipped to carry the learning forward into their own networks and communities in South India.
The selected organization is expected to have strong subject-matter credibility in areas like democracy, pluralism, inclusion, and civic leadership, and it must also show a proven ability to work with youth networks and organizations across South India. Just as important as content expertise is operational capacity: the awardee will need solid experience running leadership trainings for young leaders and the logistical capability to manage a multi-speaker, multi-participant program that includes travel, scheduling, and coordination across venues. The opportunity is structured as a grant (discretionary funding) and is tied to the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category (CFDA 19.040), reflecting its emphasis on rights, discrimination, and reform-oriented public engagement.
In practical terms, the awardee will coordinate closely with the Public Affairs Section (PAS) in Chennai and take responsibility for key program design and implementation tasks. These deliverables include drafting a concept or discussion paper that explains anti-racism and why it matters in current U.S. and Indian contexts, then translating that framing into customized training modules developed in consultation with subject experts, leadership trainers, and community leaders. The organization must also identify and invite the U.S. expert who will lead the workshop, as well as recruit and confirm five Indian experts who can contribute local and thematic perspectives. Another central responsibility is selecting and inviting 40 participants who fit the program profile (youth leaders, activists, and influencers) and ensuring the workshop is both high-quality and practically oriented as a train-the-trainer experience.
Beyond program content and recruitment, the awardee is responsible for end-to-end logistics. That includes arranging travel and participation for the U.S. and Indian experts and for participants as required, and ensuring smooth execution at the American Center and potentially other venues in South India. The program does not end with the two-day workshop: after the Chennai sessions, the grantee must organize a speaking tour for the U.S. expert to one city in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, or Kerala. That tour should include interactive events and media engagements that continue the anti-racism conversation with wider audiences, extending the workshop's impact beyond the initial cohort.
Funding details in the announcement indicate a single expected award with an award ceiling of $30,000. The opportunity number is C NOFO 20 102. The posting lists an original closing date of May 22, 2020, and a creation date of March 23, 2020.
