Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0010100
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Global Public Affairs is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Support for U.S. Pavilion at 2025 World Expo in Osaka- Japan" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0010100). The purpose of this opportunity is to support U.S. participation in the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan, positioning the U.S. Pavilion as a high-visibility public diplomacy platform. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help the United States present a compelling national presence at a major international exposition, using the pavilion and its programming to highlight U.S. leadership, particularly around innovation and future-focused themes.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. Projects supported under cooperative agreements often require close coordination with the agency on plans, messaging, deliverables, branding, and performance expectations, especially when the activity is tied to U.S. government public diplomacy goals and international representation.
This opportunity is categorized under the Arts activity area (noted as Cultural Affairs in CFDA), with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 19.040. While labeled under arts and cultural affairs, the underlying emphasis is broader public engagement and national storytelling, likely combining cultural programming with science, technology, innovation, and other forward-looking content that can engage global audiences at the Expo.
The award ceiling is $6,000,000, and the agency anticipates making up to two awards. That combination suggests the State Department may fund one or two major partners or consortia capable of supporting large-scale pavilion-related programming, operations, or public-facing initiatives tied to the Expo. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with clarification expected in the opportunity's additional eligibility section, which commonly means eligibility may extend beyond traditional categories and could include non-profits, institutions, or other entities deemed suitable for delivering a high-profile international public diplomacy effort.
Key dates provided include a creation date of October 27, 2023, and an original closing date of January 2, 2024. The grant is framed around enabling the U.S. Pavilion to serve as a world-class engagement venue at Expo 2025 Osaka, leveraging the event to project U.S. strengths, values, and leadership in shaping the future through innovation.Apply for SFOP0010100
