Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS LIMA FY20 NOFO 001
The U.S. Embassy in Lima, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS) and the U.S. Department of State, announced a grant opportunity focused on preventing gender-based violence by using the performing arts as a core tool for education and community engagement. The program is designed to promote gender equality and encourage healthy relationship behaviors, with a particular emphasis on reducing teen dating violence. PAS Lima planned to make a single grant award, with total funding capped at USD 25,000, and invited eligible organizations to submit proposals under the notice of funding opportunity.
The project focus is geographically and demographically specific. Activities are meant to serve adolescents ages 14 to 17 who live in the Madre de Dios region of Peru as the primary beneficiaries. At the same time, the opportunity makes it clear that sustainable prevention requires the involvement of the wider environment around teens, so proposals are expected to include meaningful engagement with teachers and parents. The intended outcomes go beyond individual knowledge gains and aim at broader community-level change, including increased awareness, shifts in attitudes that normalize or excuse violence, and ultimately a reduction in violence against women and girls.
A defining feature of this opportunity is the required use of performing arts education. Participatory theater is highlighted as the preferred approach, likely because it allows young people to rehearse real-life scenarios, practice bystander skills, explore consent and boundaries, and reflect on power dynamics in an interactive setting. The NOFO also encourages applicants to consider other performing arts formats such as music and dance, as long as the arts component is central and educational rather than purely performative. In addition to arts training or workshops, proposed projects should incorporate other interactive elements such as structured sessions with teachers and parents, community presentations, and public-facing awareness campaigns, all of which help reinforce messages and extend impact beyond the immediate youth group.
The timeline is short and results-oriented. All project activities were expected to take place before August 2020, and applicants needed to present a realistic schedule and dissemination plan coordinated with PAS Lima. In practical terms, that means the proposal budget and timeline had to cover the full sequence of planned activities, from preparation and training through performances, outreach, and any evaluation or reporting tied to the program design.
Another key requirement is a U.S. component. Proposals needed to include a substantive connection to the United States, which could be reflected in the project content, organizational partnerships, or staffing. Examples provided include involving U.S. educators or artists such as choreographers, singers, playwrights, or theater practitioners in the methodology. The NOFO also suggests adapting or modeling interventions that have been used in the United States, including virtual exchanges and knowledge-sharing relationships between Peruvian and U.S.-based organizations, which can add technical depth and strengthen cross-cultural learning.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant under the Department of State (U.S. Mission to Peru), with a single expected award and a ceiling of USD 25,000. The opportunity number was PAS LIMA FY20 NOFO 001, and it was published on December 17, 2019, with an original closing date of January 30, 2020. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with U.S. 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions) and other eligible entities as further defined in the official eligibility guidance. A Spanish-language version of the announcement was also made available through the Embassy website.Apply for PAS LIMA FY20 NOFO 001
