Opportunity Information: Apply for FY21 01
The Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Denmark (U.S. Embassy Copenhagen), offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Identifying Disinformation Symposium in Greenland" (Funding Opportunity Number FY21 01). The core aim of the grant was to support the design and delivery of a symposium in Greenland focused on helping students recognize and respond to disinformation. The intended audience was specifically Greenlandic university and high school students, which signals an emphasis on building media literacy and critical thinking skills among young people who are actively forming their civic awareness and information habits.
The funded program was expected to take the form of an educational event or seminar-style symposium centered on the topic of identifying disinformation. While the notice is brief, the title and description make the purpose clear: improve participants' ability to spot misleading narratives, evaluate sources, and better understand how disinformation spreads and influences public opinion. The Embassy also encouraged applicants to partner with Greenlandic educational institutions when implementing the seminar, suggesting that proposals would be stronger if they included local schools, universities, or related education partners to ensure relevance, access to students, and long-term local value.
The opportunity was structured as a grant, with a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $50,000 and an expectation of a single award being made. Eligible applicants were broad and included city or township governments, public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without U.S. 501(c)(3) status (as long as they were not institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories), and even individuals. In practical terms, that eligibility list meant the Embassy was open to proposals from a range of organizations that could credibly organize and deliver an educational symposium in Greenland, particularly those able to collaborate directly with Greenlandic schools and universities.
Key administrative details include the posting/creation date of April 27, 2021, and an original application deadline of June 30, 2021. The funding activity category was listed under Education, Information and Statistics, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 19.040, which is commonly used for public diplomacy-related programs supported by the Department of State. Overall, the grant was a targeted, relatively small, single-award public diplomacy initiative designed to support youth-facing education in Greenland on how to identify disinformation, ideally implemented in close coordination with local educational institutions.Apply for FY21 01
