Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2025)

The U.S. Mission to Georgia is announcing an open competition for past participants of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to submit applications to the 2025 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2025). The AEIF provides alumni with funding to expand on skills gained during their exchange experience to design and implement innovative solutions to global challenges facing their community. The project should address at least one of the following: bringing alumni together from different exchange programs to build or expand an alumni network, strengthening the relationship between alumni and the U.S. government, or supporting alumni as they develop their leadership capacity and implement projects in their communities. • The project must take place outside of the United States and its territories. • The project team must include at least two alumni from U.S. government-funded or sponsored exchange programs. • The project should address the United States’ commitment to Georgia’s further integration with the West as a more democratic and stable country. • The project should promote mutual understanding between the United States and Georgia.
