Opportunity Information: Apply for DEMCOM FY20 01
The Democracy Commission Small Grants Program Competition (Funding Opportunity Number: DEMCOM FY20 01) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Armenia. It was announced on December 13, 2019, with an application deadline of February 13, 2020. This is described as the first round of the 2020 competition and is structured to provide small grants to projects that strengthen democratic development in Armenia, encourage respect for human rights, and expand civic education. In practical terms, the program is aimed at supporting initiatives that help people better understand democratic processes, participate in civic life, and promote accountability, inclusion, and rights-based approaches within their communities.
Funding is provided through either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning awards may range from relatively hands-off grant support to more actively coordinated projects where the funder and recipient may work more closely during implementation. The funding activity areas associated with this opportunity include community development and education, with an additional category listed as "Other" to cover related democracy and human-rights work that may not fit neatly into a single standard category. The listed CFDA number is 19.900, which is commonly used for Department of State public diplomacy and related programs, signaling the broader context of U.S. support for civil society and democratic institutions abroad.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $50,000, and the opportunity anticipates making about 20 awards. This combination of a relatively modest ceiling and multiple expected awards indicates the program is designed to fund a portfolio of smaller, targeted projects rather than a single large initiative. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, which typically suggests that a range of non-traditional or specifically defined applicants may be considered, often including civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations, community groups, or other locally based entities depending on the stated eligibility rules in the complete solicitation.
Overall, this competition is best understood as a small-grants mechanism for Armenia-focused projects that have clear democratic governance, human rights, and civic education outcomes, with funding levels suited to pilot programs, localized interventions, public education efforts, community engagement activities, and similar initiatives that can demonstrate concrete impact within a defined scope and timeline.Apply for DEMCOM FY20 01
