Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct eight to twelve regional or sub-regional enrichment seminars for U. S. government-sponsored people-to-people exchange program alumni, focused on thematic topics that support U. S. foreign policy priorities and that foster a sense of shared identity, networking, and dialogue among participating alumni.

The enrichment seminars will be three to four days in duration for 20-100 participants each, and can take place in six of the world regions and the United States.

ECA anticipates issuing a Cooperative Agreement of up to $1,500,00 0. To support efforts of alumni to apply their international exchange and seminar experience within their communities, participants will be eligible to compete for a small grants opportunity of up to $10,000 per project following the enrichment seminar, out of an overall $500,000 grants fund.
