Opportunity Information: Apply for SMK800 18 PAS01
The Media Mentorship Program (Funding Opportunity Number SMK800 18 PAS01) is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity offered through the U.S. Mission to Macedonia, specifically the U.S. Embassy in Skopje Public Affairs Section. The program is designed to support a structured media training and mentorship effort focused on young journalists from the Republic of Macedonia. The central purpose is to fund an organization that can plan and deliver a series of practical workshops that build journalistic skills, strengthen professional standards, and provide hands-on guidance through experienced trainers and coaches.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate clear, credible expertise in designing and running media training programs. In practice, this means the Embassy is looking for an organization that already understands how to build a coherent workshop curriculum, recruit qualified facilitators, manage logistics, and deliver training that is relevant to working journalists. Proposals are likely to be viewed more favorably if the applicant can show a strong network of media-sector contacts and established relationships with potential trainers, mentors, and coaches who can lead sessions and provide real-world perspectives.
The award is issued as a grant under a mandatory opportunity category, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other" (with further clarification referenced in the original notice). The program anticipates making one award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $75,000. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.900, which corresponds to Department of State public diplomacy-type assistance activities.
Eligibility, as stated in the notice, includes nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). This indicates the opportunity is oriented toward non-U.S. nonprofit entities and similar organizations, and it explicitly mentions non-profit/non-governmental organizations and educational institutions as the kinds of implementers the Embassy seeks. The opportunity was created on May 30, 2018, with an original application closing date of July 30, 2018.
In summary, this grant funds one organization to run a mentorship-style workshop series for young Macedonian journalists, with selection likely hinging on proven training experience, the practical strength of the proposed workshop plan, and the applicant's access to a strong bench of credible media professionals who can serve as trainers and mentors.Apply for SMK800 18 PAS01
