Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS BGI FY23 02

The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs Program Implementor grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS BGI FY23 02) is a discretionary grant competition offered by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Barbados. It supports the implementation of an Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) program, which typically focuses on helping women build practical business skills, strengthen entrepreneurship networks, and increase the capacity of participants to start or grow sustainable ventures. While the listing itself provides only a brief description, the title and program framing indicate that the award is intended for an organization that can plan, manage, and deliver the AWE program locally, including coordinating training activities and related program components.

This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument type and is categorized under the Arts funding activity area (with reference to Cultural Affairs in CFDA), with the CFDA number listed as 19.022. The eligibility category is shown as "Others," with an instruction to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. In practice, this kind of Department of State program implementor role is often carried out by qualified non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, chambers of commerce, or similar entities with demonstrated experience delivering entrepreneurship training, mentoring, and program administration, but applicants would need to confirm the specific eligibility rules in the official notice.

Key operational details include an award ceiling of $25,000, an expectation of up to 12 awards, and a timeline showing the opportunity was created on October 11, 2022, with an original closing date of November 4, 2022. The relatively modest ceiling and the multi-award structure suggest the Mission may have sought multiple implementors or multiple program cohorts/partners across its area of responsibility, each running a version of the AWE program within a defined budget. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as funding to run an entrepreneurship program for women under the AWE umbrella, with the selected implementor responsible for organizing and executing the activities and delivering the intended outcomes within the grant period and budget constraints.
