Opportunity Information: Apply for 007 FY2022
The BOLD Action Workshops on Civic Engagement grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 007, FY2022) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant offered through the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically the Embassy's Public Diplomacy Section (PDS). It funds a single selected implementer to design and deliver two civic engagement workshops for BOLD participants, also known as BiH Omladinski Lideri (Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders). The overall purpose is to strengthen the capacity of young leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina to participate more actively in civic life and to take practical, community-focused action rather than limiting the program to discussion or theory.
The program is centered on skill-building with a strong applied component: participants are expected to develop and implement their own civic engagement projects that address a concrete need in their communities. In other words, the workshops are not just training events; they are intended to help youth leaders move from ideas to execution by giving them tools, structure, and peer support to plan, launch, and carry out projects that can generate visible local impact. The emphasis on implementation suggests the Embassy is looking for a workshop design that includes hands-on project development, mentoring or guided planning, and a clear pathway from workshop learning to real-world action.
The content areas laid out in the notice point to a broad, practical foundation for success in the civil society space. Topics explicitly highlighted include project management fundamentals (such as setting goals, defining activities, budgeting, timelines, roles, and risk planning), innovative civic engagement project design (how to identify community needs, design solutions, and build feasible project models), and project-based collaboration (working effectively in teams and building partnerships). The opportunity also calls for training on how to leverage assets within the existing BOLD network, implying that alumni connections, peer expertise, and cross-community collaboration should be used as a resource to strengthen projects and improve outcomes.
A notable part of the workshop focus is on addressing common barriers to civic participation, particularly apathy and skepticism. The grant description signals that applicants should incorporate strategies to motivate participation, communicate the value of civic action, build trust, and sustain engagement even in environments where young people may doubt that change is possible or where community members may be hesitant to support new initiatives. Another core component is learning how to work with like-minded individuals and groups to lead broader community change, which points toward coalition-building, stakeholder engagement, and practical approaches for mobilizing support and coordinating with local organizations or informal groups.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) with an award ceiling of $80,000 and an expectation of one award, meaning the Embassy anticipated selecting a single organization or implementer to run both workshops. The opportunity was created on January 27, 2022, with an original closing date of March 25, 2022. The listing references CFDA 19.900 and notes eligibility as "Others" with additional eligibility details in the full announcement, indicating the applicant pool could extend beyond standard categories depending on the Embassy's specific eligibility language.
In practical terms, a competitive proposal would likely need to present a clear workshop structure for two separate sessions, a curriculum aligned to the skills listed, and a credible plan for turning training into tangible community projects. That would typically include recruitment or participant selection coordination with the BOLD network, interactive training methods, project ideation and refinement steps, mechanisms for peer or mentor feedback, and a realistic approach for supporting participants as they implement their projects after the workshops conclude.Apply for 007 FY2022
