Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS JAKARTA FY22 01
The Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) 2022 is a competitive grant opportunity run by the U.S. Mission to Indonesia that provides funding to alumni of U.S.-sponsored and U.S. government-funded exchange programs. The purpose is to help alumni build on the skills, networks, and experience they gained during their exchange and turn those into practical, alumni-led projects that address real community challenges. Since the fund began in 2011, it has supported nearly 500 projects worldwide, and the 2022 round is framed around strengthening the strategic partnership between Indonesia and the United States through programming that is educational, cultural, informational, or media-focused, highlights shared values, and supports bilateral cooperation.
Projects must be public service initiatives proposed and managed by teams of at least two exchange alumni. The U.S. Mission to Indonesia is looking for proposals that fit within one or more of these themes: economic development; environmental sustainability; protection of human rights; public health improvement; strengthening the role of the public in peace, security, and governance; and preventing terrorism while countering radicalization and recruitment. In practice, that means the fund is aimed at community-facing work where alumni take the lead in designing solutions, delivering activities, and demonstrating local impact in Indonesia, while aligning with broader U.S.-Indonesia cooperation goals.
There are several activity types the program generally does not support. Proposals tied to partisan political activity are not allowed, and neither are construction projects. The fund does not support programs that advance specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, or scientific research. It also excludes citizen exchange programs with foreign countries that do not have a clear American angle. International travel is typically not permitted under this opportunity. In addition, projects focused on creating or developing web-based applications or producing publications are listed as not typically allowed, which signals that the program prefers direct engagement and on-the-ground programming over product development or purely digital deliverables.
Eligibility is limited to individuals who are alumni of a U.S. government-funded exchange program (as listed on alumni.state.gov) or a U.S. government-sponsored exchange program (including programs associated with the J-1 visa framework). The application must be submitted by the alumni themselves, and the core team must include at least two alumni; teams can mix alumni from different exchange programs and even different countries. U.S. citizen alumni cannot apply as the submitting applicants, but they are allowed to participate as members of a project team. Organizations such as nonprofits, NGOs, think tanks, and academic institutions cannot apply in the name of the organization, but they can participate as implementing partners supporting the alumni-led effort.
