Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY2019 003
The Ukraine: Democracy Commission Small Grants Program Thematic Competition: Free and Fair 2019 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections is a discretionary grant opportunity announced by the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv under the U.S. Department of State. It was designed to support practical, non-partisan efforts that strengthen the credibility and integrity of Ukraine's 2019 presidential and parliamentary elections by helping ensure they are free, fair, and transparent. The opportunity sits under CFDA 19.900 and was issued as Funding Opportunity Number PAS UKRAINE FY2019 003, with a creation date of November 16, 2018.
The program targets Ukrainian non-governmental organizations and invites them to propose activities that increase public confidence in the electoral process and encourage informed, lawful participation. The emphasis is on improving voter understanding of election procedures, reinforcing election integrity, and reducing the impact of misinformation and disinformation that could undermine trust in results. The Embassy indicates that proposals can vary in approach, but they should clearly contribute to broader democratic participation and the protection of electoral rights, especially where those rights are at higher risk.
The eligible project concepts listed in the notice focus heavily on voter engagement and inclusion. Examples include voter education campaigns that explain how voting works, what safeguards exist, how to recognize manipulation or false information, and where to find reliable election information. The notice also highlights non-partisan "get-out-the-vote" efforts aimed at motivating citizens to participate, as well as peer-to-peer initiatives intended to raise turnout among young voters, recognizing that youth engagement often responds best to messages and messengers within their own communities.
A major theme is ensuring that groups who can be overlooked or face barriers are actively included in election participation efforts. The opportunity explicitly calls out outreach and education activities tailored to internally displaced persons, Roma communities, veterans of the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and elderly voters. Relatedly, it encourages projects that protect electoral rights for vulnerable populations, which may involve helping communities understand their rights, navigate voting requirements, and overcome practical or informational obstacles that could limit their ability to vote.
In terms of funding parameters, the award ceiling is set at $20,000 per grant. While the posting does not clearly state a precise number of expected awards in the provided source data, the small-grants structure implies support for one or more relatively modest, targeted projects rather than a single large national program. Applications were due by December 7, 2018, reflecting the need to deploy activities ahead of the 2019 election cycles.Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY2019 003
