Opportunity Information: Apply for K NOFO 18 103
The Anti-TIP International Youth Champions Conclave is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity administered by the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General in Kolkata (PAS Kolkata), under the U.S. Mission to India. It is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number K NOFO 18 103) in the education activity category (CFDA 19.040) designed to support a focused, short-term international convening on anti-trafficking in persons (TIP). The project centers on organizing a three-day workshop at the American Center in Kolkata that brings together approximately 40 to 50 university-level youth leaders from five countries: the United States, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan. The overall goal is to build a cohort of emerging youth champions who can collaborate across borders and sectors to strengthen anti-trafficking awareness, prevention, and engagement efforts.
The proposed conclave is framed as an intersectional workshop, meaning it intentionally looks at trafficking through multiple lenses and encourages collaboration among participants with different backgrounds, skills, and professional interests. The program is structured around three main themes. First is an intergenerational focus, emphasizing that youth and university students can play a direct and meaningful role in anti-trafficking work. This includes practical pathways for involvement such as awareness campaigns, strategic use of social media, internships, and participation in exchange programs that expose students to best practices and networks beyond their immediate communities. Second is an inter-sectoral focus built around an "all hands on deck" approach, signaling that combating trafficking is not limited to government or social service organizations. The conclave aims to involve and learn from perspectives that could include private sector actors and specialized skill sets like engineering, graphic design, and media, recognizing that technology, communication, and business practices can either contribute to exploitation or help prevent it depending on how they are leveraged. Third is an international focus that prioritizes cross-country partnerships and information exchange, reflecting the reality that trafficking often operates through regional routes and transnational networks, and that solutions improve when countries share strategies, tools, and lessons learned.
In terms of funding and award structure, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $50,000 and anticipates making one award. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable under that category). The grant is intended to cover the design and delivery of the three-day convening and the collaborative elements that enable participants to learn from one another, build professional connections, and develop ideas that can be carried forward after the event. The notice was created on April 9, 2018, with an original closing date of June 8, 2018, and it directs applicants to consult the full announcement materials available in the related documents section for complete requirements and proposal details.Apply for K NOFO 18 103
