Albanian Community Members and Current Peace Corps Albania Volunteers,

We are happy to announce our next open call for grant applications for 2024. The maximum grant award is $750. Grants are available to all community members in Albania in collaboration with a Peace Corps Volunteer who has served for at least 6 months and are no less than 6 months from close of service. These terms ensure that applicants have an adequate understanding of the needs of their communities and the feasibility of potential projects, and that all project activities must be completed prior to COS.

If Peace Corps Volunteers would like FOA to consider funding a portion of their PCPP grants, please reach out to the FOA Grants Coordinator, Jill Conway, at jconway@friendsofalbania.net and the FOA board at board@friendsofalbania.net

The FOA grants committee will review applications in the order they are received and communicate with applicants regarding requests for more information or proposal modifications. A month after submission, applicants will receive a response from the FOA Board approving or denying funding requests. Funds will be disbursed following the applicants' completion of our agreement terms.

Note: Proposals that do not follow guidance and appropriate naming conventions will not be considered. Please read all the instructions thoroughly. Volunteers seeking additional guidance on the application process may also email Jill Conway, the Grants Coordinator directly.
