Opportunity Information: Apply for LUXEM PDS FY23 04

The U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg, through its Public Diplomacy Section, is offering a competitive grant opportunity called "Remembering our Shared History" to support projects that deepen ties between the United States and Luxembourg by focusing on shared historical memory, especially surrounding World War II. The program is centered on public engagement in Luxembourg and is meant to highlight the long-standing U.S.-Luxembourg relationship through historically grounded storytelling, education, and outreach that adds context and meaning to that alliance.

Proposed projects are expected to address themes such as significant WWII events and lesser-known or "untold" stories, including moments of collaboration between the United States and Luxembourg. A major priority is youth-focused programming that helps ensure younger generations in Luxembourg continue to learn about and remember WWII. The opportunity also emphasizes honest, factual remembrance of the war's tragedies, with particular attention to Holocaust remembrance and education. Applicants are encouraged to design programming that is accessible and impactful for the public, and that promotes historical understanding rather than superficial commemoration.

The Embassy is open to a wide range of formats and activities, including historical or cultural exhibitions, film screenings (both movies and documentaries), lecture series, book talks and discussions, and outreach campaigns using traditional broadcast channels as well as social media and other digital platforms. Whatever the format, projects must clearly engage audiences in Luxembourg and demonstrate a meaningful public diplomacy purpose, not just internal or closed-door activities.

A key requirement is that every project include a clear U.S. element. This could take the form of U.S. experts participating, U.S.-Luxembourg historical connections being highlighted, or programming that helps Luxembourg audiences better understand U.S. policy and perspectives. In addition, if grant funds are used to pay speakers, those speakers must be U.S. citizens, which is an important constraint for budgeting and participant selection.

Eligible applicants include U.S. or Luxembourgish nonprofit organizations (including think tanks and civil society groups), public and private educational institutions, government institutions and public international organizations, and individuals. U.S.-based organizations must partner with a Luxembourgish organization, reinforcing the program's goal of bilateral engagement and local reach. For-profit or commercial entities are not eligible.

The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Mission to Luxembourg under Funding Opportunity Number LUXEM PDS FY23 04 (CFDA 19.040). The maximum award amount is listed as $15,000. The original application closing date was May 15, 2023, and applicants are directed to consult the full Notice of Funding Opportunity on the Embassy's grants webpage or the Grants.gov listing for instructions, including how to submit a Statement of Interest and meet all submission requirements.
