Opportunity Information: Apply for PD TLV FY23 01
The Intercultural TechCamp for Climate Change (Funding Opportunity Number PD-TLV-FY23-01) is a U.S. Mission to Israel Public Diplomacy grant competition run by the U.S. Embassy in Israel to support a regional, intercultural program focused on climate action. The Embassy is seeking proposals for a cooperative agreement to help organize and implement a TechCamp that brings together young leaders from Israel and Morocco to collaborate on practical climate change solutions. While the applicant implementer is expected to run the grant on the ground, the U.S. Department of State TechCamp team is positioned as an active partner by providing TechCamp expertise and planning support, and by working closely with participants across Morocco and Israel.
At its core, the program is designed to strengthen economic and scientific cooperation between Israeli and Moroccan emerging leaders around climate change adaptation and mitigation. The TechCamp model is interactive and team-based: participants (including activists, entrepreneurs, influencers, and other young professionals) will be connected with climate experts and guided to form cross-border teams that collaborate before, during, and after the main TechCamp activities. A key emphasis is not only climate literacy and solution design, but also entrepreneurship skill-building, so that promising ideas can realistically move toward implementation and potentially lead to sustainable job creation tied to climate action.
The intended audience is 30 emerging leaders ages 20 to 35 from Morocco and Israel, representing diverse backgrounds and sectors. Participants must be proficient in spoken and written English. The eligible participant pool is broad and can include civil society and education leaders, students, young entrepreneurs, social media influencers, youth network leaders, climate advocates, and early-career professionals. The overall program is described as a three-phase initiative in a hybrid format, structured to maintain continuous engagement rather than a one-off event. The stated goals of this multi-stage format are to expand regional networks and partnerships around shared climate challenges, strengthen participants entrepreneurial capacity to take effective action, and deepen intercultural exchange centered on climate solutions.
Funding is provided through FY23 Smith-Mundt Public Diplomacy Funds and FY23 Fulbright-Hayes Public Diplomacy Funds under Federal Assistance Listing (CFDA) 19.021. The award type is a cooperative agreement, which means the U.S. Embassy in Israel will be actively involved in planning and implementation rather than serving only as a passive funder. The performance period runs from June 2023 to June 2024, with an expectation that core programming will be completed within 6 months, followed by a 6-month follow-on period to sustain engagement and momentum. The anticipated start date is June 2023, and proposals may not plan to start before June 1, 2023. The Embassy anticipated making awards in Morocco and Israel, with the Israel award amount listed at USD 110,000 to 130,000, and an overall award ceiling of USD 130,000.
Because it is a cooperative agreement, the Embassy and State Department retain specific approval and oversight roles. These include providing standardized branding guidance, reviewing and approving marketing and promotional materials (and potentially amplifying the program through U.S. Mission social media and media contacts), approving the venue selection, and reviewing participant and trainer recruitment and selection plans. They also expect to help identify potential speakers or trainers, including alumni of U.S. government exchange programs, representatives of U.S. companies, and U.S. Mission personnel. In practice, an applicant should plan for close coordination, iterative review cycles, and flexibility to incorporate Embassy and State Department input into program design, communications, and staffing.
Eligibility is limited to not-for-profit Israeli entities such as organizations, associations, think tanks, public or private institutions, and civil society organizations with demonstrated expertise in environmental and climate change programming and a record of successful implementation. A key administrative requirement is active registration in SAM.gov and possession of a UEI at the time of application. Applicants are also expected to be familiar with the federal assistance compliance framework in 2 CFR Part 200. The listing of eligible applicants also indicates the opportunity is aimed at nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), which aligns with the international context and the Israeli organizational applicant pool.
Applications were due April 15, 2023, submitted electronically as PDFs to TelAvivGrants@state.gov by midnight on the deadline date. The proposal budget could not exceed USD 130,000, and cost sharing was explicitly not required and was not considered during merit review. The required submission package included standard federal forms (SF-424, SF-424A, SF-424B) plus a proposal narrative in English, an applicant organization information form, a detailed budget in USD, CVs for the director and key personnel, and proof of organizational registration confirmation. The Embassy also emphasized that incomplete applications, late submissions, or proposals that do not meet eligibility and documentation requirements would not be reviewed, and noted that the award is subject to the availability of funding.Apply for PD TLV FY23 01
