Description
The U.S. Mission to Germany is announcing the FY26 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund, which supports alumni-led projects that advance U.S. policy objectives and amplify the impact of U.S. exchange programs. The fund provides funding for alumni to apply skills gained during their exchanges to address community priorities. Projects must promote Freedom 250 and align with priorities such as making the United States safer, stronger, and more prosperous, or defending freedom of speech.
Some key areas of focus for the projects include:
• Sports diplomacy
• Science, technology, and space cooperation
• Alumni engagement
• Countering anti-Semitism
• Promoting Freedom 250 themes
The proposed project should include a detailed work plan, expected outcomes, and performance indicators. The applicant organization should also provide information about their past work in the area, their mission, and their expertise.
