Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS LIMA FY19 NOFO 002
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Peru (Public Affairs Section in Lima, PAS Lima), announced a discretionary grant opportunity called "Conservation of Amazonian Languages to Help Protect Peruvian Intangible Cultural Heritage" (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS LIMA FY19 NOFO 002). The program is designed to fund projects that preserve and conserve traditional Amazonian languages spoken in Peru, framing language protection as a core part of safeguarding Peru's intangible cultural heritage. In addition to documentation or preservation work, proposals are expected to connect language conservation to practical community benefits, specifically by strengthening local communities through sustainable tourism and broader economic development tied to cultural heritage.
Projects must focus on one or more traditional Amazonian languages used in Peru and show a clear plan for conservation outcomes. A competitive proposal would not only identify the language(s) and the community context, but also explain how the project will help keep the language in active use or increase its visibility and value within the community. The opportunity emphasizes that language conservation should be leveraged as a tool for empowerment, meaning applicants should build activities that translate cultural preservation into tangible opportunities, such as responsible cultural tourism initiatives, community-led interpretation or guiding, local cultural products, or other heritage-based economic activities that are sustainable and respectful of community ownership.
The selected grantee will have ongoing coordination and communication responsibilities with the Embassy's Office of Public Affairs. This includes keeping the Embassy informed about program milestones and key dates, particularly those related to sharing or disseminating the program's activities and results. The application must include a detailed budget that covers every step of the project from start to finish. The solicitation specifically calls out the need to budget for a final ceremony where results are presented, including an announcement of the number of languages conserved (or the conservation achievements for the language(s) targeted), reinforcing that measurable outputs and public-facing deliverables matter.
A required element of the project design is a sustainability and monitoring plan. Applicants need to explain what will happen after the grant period to promote ongoing use of the language in the community and how the project will track or verify continued impact. The monitoring component should address how many people are expected to access the preserved language materials or information, and through what channels (for example, community workshops, schools, cultural centers, digital archives, radio programs, tourism interpretation materials, or other dissemination methods). This focus signals that PAS Lima is looking for projects that go beyond one-time documentation and instead create pathways for continued learning, use, and community engagement.
Funding details indicate an anticipated award ceiling of up to $30,000, with an expectation of one award, though PAS Lima states it may issue one or more awards depending on funding availability. The project performance period can range from 2 to 24 months, giving applicants flexibility to propose either short, targeted interventions or longer, more comprehensive programs. The Embassy also reserves the right to award less than the amount described if circumstances change, which is a standard condition that applicants should account for by presenting a budget and workplan that can scale appropriately.
Eligibility is listed as including nonprofits with U.S. 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and additional eligible applicant types described under an "Others" category, implying that certain non-U.S. organizations or individuals may also be eligible depending on the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is labeled as "Other," suggesting the work may span cultural preservation, public diplomacy, community development, and related fields rather than fitting neatly into a single standard category. The opportunity was created on July 2, 2019, with an original closing date of July 30, 2019. A Spanish version of the full notice was provided by the Embassy at: https://pe.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/107/NOFO-Conservation-Amazonian-Languages-Sp.pdf.Apply for PAS LIMA FY19 NOFO 002
