Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS CHISINAU FY17 08
The Small Grants for Media Program - Content Production (Funding Opportunity Number PAS CHISINAU FY17 08) is a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Mission to Moldova to strengthen independent media voices by building documentary filmmaking capacity in Moldova. The central idea is to expand the skills, experience, and practical output of emerging documentary filmmakers, using documentary film as a tool to explore and communicate social, economic, and political topics that matter to Moldova's broader economic and political development.
Rather than funding individual filmmakers directly as the primary recipient, the Embassy is looking for a local implementing partner that will run the program and manage a re-granting or sub-award process. In the grant structure described, the selected organization is the "Awardee" (the implementing partner), and the filmmakers supported through the program are treated as applicants or "sub-awardees." This means the implementing partner would be responsible for designing and administering the small-grants mechanism for film production, which typically includes tasks like announcing the call for proposals, running a selection process, issuing sub-grants, providing oversight and mentorship, monitoring progress, and ensuring proper reporting and compliance for funded documentary projects.
Eligibility to apply as the implementing partner is limited to not-for-profit organizations such as NGOs, CSOs, and think tanks, as well as independent mass media entities (which in Moldova are often registered as Limited Liability Companies), as long as they are officially registered in the Republic of Moldova. The opportunity is categorized as a grant, with an activity category listed as "Other" under CFDA number 19.900. The notice was created on February 15, 2017, and the original application deadline was April 6, 2017. The source information does not specify the award ceiling or the expected number of awards, indicating those details were either not provided in the summary record or were to be clarified in the full announcement documentation.
Overall, the program is designed to channel U.S. Embassy support into a structured content-production pipeline: a Moldovan organization manages the program, and emerging filmmakers receive targeted production support to create documentaries that can inform public discussion and highlight issues relevant to Moldova's development trajectory.Apply for PAS CHISINAU FY17 08
