Opportunity Information: Apply for M NOFO 17 103
The Traveling Women's Film Festival is a U.S. Department of State-funded grant opportunity offered through the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai (PAS Mumbai). The project is designed as a traveling, two-day film festival that will be held in 10 smaller cities across western India, with a deliberate focus on rural and semi-urban communities that are often underserved by major cultural programming. Using a curated lineup of American films along with films from other countries, the festival aims to spark public conversation and increase awareness around gender-related issues, while also encouraging practical, community-level attention to women's safety and empowerment.
At its core, the opportunity is meant to use film as an accessible entry point for discussion and learning, building on PAS Mumbai's broader work promoting women's safety and empowerment through cultural and educational initiatives, including film and short-film contests. The expectation is that festivals will reach audiences outside typical metropolitan hubs, helping to extend visibility and engagement on themes such as gender equity, social norms, and the everyday realities affecting women and girls in these regions. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the selected recipient should be prepared to work closely with the U.S. Mission to India on planning and implementation, rather than operating entirely independently.
This is a discretionary education-category award (CFDA 19.040) with an anticipated single award. The maximum available funding (award ceiling) is $29,000. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S.-based nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created on May 8, 2017, with an original application deadline of July 7, 2017, under funding opportunity number M NOFO 17 103. Applicants are directed to consult the full announcement (noted as available under the related documents tab) for complete program requirements, application instructions, and any required components of the proposal.Apply for M NOFO 17 103
