Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS CONAK FY19 01
The "U.S. Embassy Conakry, Annual Program Statement" (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS CONAK FY19 01) is a small-grants program run by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Guinea. It is structured as an Annual Program Statement, meaning it lays out the Embassy's core funding priorities, strategic themes, and the process applicants must follow to request support. The overall purpose is straightforward: help local groups design and carry out community projects that measurably improve day-to-day living conditions, with an emphasis on practical results that can be delivered quickly and reach a large number of people.
The opportunity funds projects that fall under community development (CFDA 19.700). Grants are meant to strengthen basic economic and social conditions at the local level, so proposals are expected to be tangible, community-centered, and focused on direct benefits rather than long-term, abstract programming. A key feature of this program is shared responsibility: participating communities are expected to make a meaningful contribution to the project in the form of cash, labor, and materials. This cost-sharing element signals that the program prioritizes community ownership, local investment, and efforts that are more likely to be sustained because residents have helped build or finance them.
Eligible applicants include registered self-help groups, community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations, and certain educational institutions. In the source data, eligibility is also framed as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), which typically reflects the reality that many qualified local organizations in Guinea are not U.S.-registered charities but are still capable of implementing effective community projects. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program is competitive in practice because demand for funding is described as far higher than available resources.
Funding levels are modest by design, consistent with the "small grants" model. The award ceiling is listed at $15,000, and the Embassy anticipated making around 10 awards under this announcement. Because resources are limited, the Embassy states that priority will go to proposals that best match the program's objectives and selection criteria, which generally implies a focus on clear community need, strong local buy-in, credible implementation planning, and high impact relative to cost. The program is also geared toward quick implementation, so projects that can start promptly, demonstrate near-term results, and avoid complex procurement or long regulatory timelines are more likely to align with the intent of the funding.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on November 15, 2019, with an original closing date of November 30, 2019. As with many Annual Program Statements, the closing date in the published notice reflects a defined submission window for that cycle, while the statement itself serves as a guide to what the Embassy is looking to support and how it expects applicants to submit requests. Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted, community-first funding mechanism intended to support visible, high-value improvements in Guinean communities through locally driven projects backed by substantial community participation.Apply for DOS CONAK FY19 01
