Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS UKRAINEFY24 01
The Ukraine: Ukrainian Media Partnership Program is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Embassy Kyiv / EUR Bureau) grant competition designed to build lasting, practical partnerships between selected Ukrainian and American media organizations. The core idea is to pair Ukrainian outlets (print, online, and broadcast) with suitable U.S. counterparts for hands-on professional exchange, training, and continued collaboration. The program is framed around helping Ukrainian media survive and grow during wartime by strengthening independence, professionalism, operational resilience, and long-term financial viability, rather than offering one-off trainings that end when travel ends.
A central priority is investigative journalism, especially reporting that improves local government transparency and accountability. The opportunity specifically highlights investigations tied to the use of recovery funds and the exposure of corruption. The program is also intended to include media outlets that have been displaced and relocated by the war, as well as outlets that have returned to liberated territories and restarted operations. Proposals are expected to reflect geographic diversity across Ukraine and can include both regional and national media participants. The Embassy indicates it would like to support up to three institutional partnerships per year through this program, meaning applicants should propose a focused set of matches and explain clearly why each pairing makes sense and how the relationships can continue after the grant period.
Program design is expected to be robust and continuous, combining in-person exchanges with sustained virtual engagement. Each partnership must include travel to the United States for Ukrainian participants, paired with ongoing online activities across the award period. The U.S. portion can include immersive newsroom visits and job-shadowing experiences at newspapers, online platforms, broadcast stations, and digital media companies, along with meetings with editors, journalists, producers, and executives. Training topics can cover investigative reporting methods, digital storytelling, audience engagement, newsroom ethics, and media business development. The announcement also encourages content that reflects the realities of wartime journalism, such as crisis management, countering disinformation, conflict reporting, trauma-informed journalism, digital security, ethical coverage of veterans issues, and practical operational skills like web tools, social media workflows, and resource management. Applicants are also encouraged to build in opportunities for Ukrainian participants to speak with U.S. community and business audiences interested in Ukraine, the war, and the role of Ukrainian media.
In addition to U.S.-based activities, the program may include reciprocal visits by American partners to meet and train Ukrainian counterparts. Because of the security environment, the grant allows flexibility: U.S. partner visits could occur outside Ukraine or in western regions if travel policies limit movement. If in-country visits are not feasible, applicants are expected to propose alternative Ukraine-based components that still advance the program goals, such as short-term exchanges, press tours, or small grant opportunities for alumni. The Embassy encourages designing each partnership to include one or two visits in both directions, with at least two travelers each way when possible. A strong proposal will also include a clear alumni strategy so participants can maintain professional ties, continue mentorship, and sustain collaborative projects beyond the grant.
Administration and oversight expectations are explicit. The award recipient will work closely with the Public Affairs Section (PAS) during implementation, and PAS must review and approve the names of Ukrainian participants before U.S. travel. Applicants must provide a detailed timeline covering the full award period, showing how travel, online engagement, mentorship, and any collaborative projects fit together and reinforce one another. Since many Ukrainian participants may not have working-level English, proposals should include a realistic language-access plan, such as interpretation during trainings, translated materials, bilingual facilitation, or other support to ensure participants can fully engage.
Funding for the opportunity totals up to $350,000, with an expected single award (one recipient organization implementing the overall program). The funding instrument is a grant under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 19.900. Eligible applicants are U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education, as stated). The application deadline is listed as April 8, 2024 in the program narrative, and the opportunity record also references an original closing date of March 26, 2024, so applicants would need to rely on the official full announcement for the controlling deadline and submission instructions. Applications are expected to include standard federal forms (including SF-424 and SF-424A) and to follow the detailed requirements in the full announcement.Apply for PAS UKRAINEFY24 01
