Opportunity Information: Apply for SBR25018CA0003
The Community Center Manager Exchange - Expanding Connections is a U.S. Department of State-funded cooperative agreement run through the U.S. Mission to Brazil (Embassy in Brasilia). The opportunity seeks a U.S.-based organization to design and implement a professional exchange program in the United States for managers of a Brazilian network of community centers. The grant is grounded in the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (the Fulbright-Hays Act), which supports international educational and cultural exchanges intended to strengthen mutual understanding and build sustained people-to-people ties.
At its core, the program builds on an established partnership between the U.S. Embassy and Brazilian community centers that has already produced high-impact engagement in areas like social inclusion, education, culture, and sports. A central feature of that partnership has been bringing Brazilian community center leaders to the United States for hands-on exposure to how similar American institutions operate. The Embassy describes these managers as key multipliers: after participating in prior exchanges, they became trusted local partners for Embassy programming and also formed durable relationships with U.S. counterparts, creating ongoing channels for collaboration and expanding the Embassy's ability to engage both emerging community voices and established opinion leaders across the consular district.
The exchange is intended to do more than offer a study tour. The stated goals emphasize expanding institutional and individual connections between Brazil and the United States, while helping Brazilian community center managers better understand U.S. values and approaches to community life through direct professional immersion. The program is expected to highlight accumulated U.S. experience in managing community-serving institutions and to facilitate practical sharing of expertise, including best practices in community engagement. In other words, the desired outcome is a two-way professional learning experience that leads to stronger networks, better programming at participating Brazilian centers, and longer-term collaboration between Brazilian managers and U.S. community organizations.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State anticipates being actively involved in shaping or overseeing elements of the project during implementation. The activity category is aligned with arts/cultural affairs (CFDA 19.040). The funding opportunity number is SBR25018CA0003, with an award ceiling of $70,000 and an expectation of one award. Eligible applicants include U.S. non-governmental organizations, public international organizations, educational institutions, and other qualified entities as described in the full eligibility language. The opportunity was originally posted July 20, 2018, with an original closing date of August 30, 2018.Apply for SBR25018CA0003
