Japan-U.S. Global Partnerships Small Grant

About this program

The Japan Foundation, New York, offers a small grant to promote grassroots partnerships between Japan and the US. The grant supports initiatives that enhance mutual understanding and address global concerns collaboratively. Eligible projects must focus on network development, collaborative efforts, and addressing shared global issues, with a preference for involving underrepresented populations.

Applicants must be US-based institutions with 501(c)(3) status, and projects should include at least one event for dialogue and networking. A minimum 20% cost-share from non-grant sources is required, and applications are reviewed based on several criteria, including innovation, impact, and inclusivity.
