The Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Embassy in the Republic of Moldova works to build mutual understanding between Moldovans and Americans. We do this through support of English-language instruction. Our English-language programming funds support the English-language community in Moldova. Learning English for Moldovans is a route to economic empowerment and a gateway to an appreciation for American culture and values.

We offer grants for programs and activities that support English-language programs. Grants generally range from $15,000 to $50,000.

This funding opportunity is authorized by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
