Opportunity Information: Apply for LUXEM PDS FY24 04
The U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg, through its Public Diplomacy Section, is offering a discretionary grant competition called "Remembering our Shared History" (Funding Opportunity Number: LUXEM PDS FY24 04). The purpose is to fund projects that strengthen bilateral ties between the United States and Luxembourg by deepening public understanding of shared historical experiences, especially around World War II and its legacy. The opportunity is framed around commemoration and education, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that key WWII events, lesser-known or "untold" stories, and examples of U.S.-Luxembourg collaboration are preserved and presented in ways that add context and meaning to the long-standing relationship between the two countries.
Competitive proposals should center on public-facing programs that engage audiences in Luxembourg and encourage accurate, thoughtful remembrance of WWII, including the tragedies of the war and, in particular, the Holocaust. The Embassy is explicitly interested in projects that reach young people and support youth education, reflecting a priority to keep historical memory alive among younger generations. Suggested formats are broad and can include historical or cultural exhibitions, film screenings (including documentaries), lecture or speaker series, book discussions, and public outreach using traditional broadcast media or social media platforms. Other creative outreach approaches may also be appropriate as long as they clearly advance the theme and are designed to reach and involve Luxembourg-based audiences.
A core requirement is that every project include a clear U.S. element. This can be built through collaboration with U.S. experts or by incorporating U.S. perspectives in a way that promotes greater understanding of U.S. policy and viewpoints. The funding rules also specify that any speaker paid with grant funds must be a U.S. citizen, so applicants need to plan speaker selection and budgets accordingly.
Eligibility is limited to non-profit and public-oriented applicants. Eligible applicants include U.S. or Luxembourgish not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and NGOs/civil society groups), public and private educational institutions, certain governmental or public international institutions, and individuals. For-profit organizations are not eligible, and the rules also prevent for-profit owners or employees from applying as individuals simply to get around that restriction. Individuals may apply, but they must explain why they are uniquely qualified to carry out the project as an individual applicant. U.S. organizations can apply, but they must do so in partnership with a Luxembourgish organization, reinforcing the program's goal of bilateral engagement and local impact.
The award ceiling is $15,000, and the original application closing date listed is May 5, 2024. Applicants are directed to consult the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for submission requirements, including instructions on how to submit a Statement of Interest, either via the U.S. Embassy Luxembourg grants webpage or the grants.gov listing.Apply for LUXEM PDS FY24 04
