Austrian-American Partnership Fund

The Austrian-American Partnership Fund (AAPF) is a grant program organized by the Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Embassy in Vienna to fund projects advancing collaboration and dialogue between Austria and the United States. The program accepts applications for funding for innovative projects that seek to bring American perspectives to Austria or connect Americans and Austrians in the following priority areas: reinforcing the role of U.S.-Austrian and transatlantic ties, promoting common democratic values and civic engagement, combating disinformation and building media literacy, addressing climate change, fostering partnerships between U.S. and Austrian educational institutions, engaging youth around shared values, and advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Key aspects of the job and scope of work include: • The primary audience should be non-Americans in Austria, with special consideration given to programs that reach youth and/or engage geographically or otherwise diverse communities in Austria. • All proposed programs must include a U.S. component and aim to increase understanding of U.S. policies and perspectives among audiences within Austria. • The program idea should be well-developed, with detail about how program activities will be carried out, and a reasonable implementation timeline. • The budget should be detailed, reasonable, and realistic, and account for all necessary expenses to achieve proposed activities. • The program should include output and outcome indicators and show how and when those will be measured.
