Opportunity Information: Apply for 008 FY2020
The BOLD Grantee Mentorship Program is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity offered through the United States Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically the Office of Public Affairs (OPA). The program is designed to support the creation and delivery of a structured mentorship initiative connected to the BOLD network (BiH Omladinski Lideri, or Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders). BOLD is an OPA-backed network focused on empowering young people across Bosnia and Herzegovina, generally ages 18 to 35, by giving them leadership development opportunities and practical training so they can design and carry out projects that generate positive change in their local communities.
This opportunity is issued as a discretionary grant under Funding Opportunity Number 008 FY2020, with an assistance listing/CFDA number of 19.900. The embassy expects to make a single award, and the maximum funding amount (award ceiling) is $10,000. The activity category is listed as "Other," meaning the funded work does not neatly fit into a standard pre-labeled program area and is defined by the specific mentorship and leadership-development focus described in the notice.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," which typically signals that applicants may include nontraditional or varied organization types, but the exact eligible applicant categories and any restrictions would be clarified in the opportunity's eligibility section (not included in the excerpt provided). The core expectation is that the selected grantee will design and implement a mentorship program that strengthens the BOLD network by pairing or supporting emerging young leaders with guidance, experience-sharing, and practical support, ultimately improving participants' ability to plan and deliver community-based initiatives.
Key dates listed for the notice show it was created on July 9, 2020, with an original application deadline of August 7, 2020.
