Opportunity Information: Apply for H NOFO 17 101
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to India, offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Arts for Social Change" (Funding Opportunity Number: H NOFO 17 101) to support the design and delivery of a series of arts-based programs and events aimed at addressing a range of social issues. The opportunity falls under the Education funding activity category (CFDA 19.040) and is structured as a grant, with the expectation that funded activities would use the arts as a practical platform for community engagement, dialogue, awareness-building, and social impact. The official notice indicates that full details, requirements, and implementation expectations are contained in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), which applicants were expected to consult for the program scope, selection criteria, and compliance obligations.
Eligibility was limited to three main types of applicants: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions within that nonprofit category). This indicates the program was designed for established organizations with the administrative capacity to manage federal grant funds and to plan and execute public-facing arts programming, potentially including partnerships with artists, cultural organizations, educators, or community groups, depending on what the NOFO specified.
The funding parameters were modest and targeted. The award ceiling was $32,000, and the agency anticipated making one award, suggesting a competitive process intended to support a single, well-defined project rather than multiple smaller projects. The opportunity was posted (creation date) on July 3, 2017, with an original application deadline of July 31, 2017, providing a relatively short application window typical of some mission-led public diplomacy or cultural programming solicitations.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity was centered on using arts programming as a tool for social change, with the expectation that a grantee would curate and implement a "series" of programs or events rather than a single standalone activity. While the listing does not enumerate the specific social issues, the framing suggests flexibility for applicants to propose arts-led interventions responsive to community needs, such as themes around inclusion, civic participation, public health, gender equity, youth empowerment, environmental awareness, or other locally relevant challenges, as permitted and prioritized in the NOFO.Apply for H NOFO 17 101
