S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct this international leadership program.

Created in 2010, Community Solutions is a global initiative that supports engaged community leaders, ages 26-39, working to address economic, environmental, political, and social challenges confronting their local communities.

Community Solutions Fellows will undertake a four- to six-month U.S.-based fellowship program in public institutions, government offices, state legislatures, social incubators, businesses, or non-profit organizations, working with seasoned community leaders on pre-defined substantive issues of mutual interest.

The program will include a robust on-line and blended leadership training component and assist participants in the design and implementation of post-fellowship projects in their home countries.

The program will also support overseas travel for approximately eight to 10 American hosts and program alumni to work with Community Solutions participants on community engagement projects.

Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization.

In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant.

Please see the full announcement for additional information.
