The U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur Public Diplomacy Section invites proposals to celebrate America's 250th anniversary (Freedom250) in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. This funding opportunity seeks innovative programs that showcase U.S. excellence across various sectors, promote American excellence and strengthen people-to-people ties between the United States and Malaysia.

Programs should advance U.S. leadership and national interests in the region by engaging Malaysian audiences in Sabah, particularly youth, educators, entrepreneurs, and civil society leaders. Priority will be given to programs that create lasting impact, promote dialogue, and highlight American excellence.

Eligible activities may include cultural exchanges, educational programs, innovation showcases, entrepreneurship initiatives, arts and music performances, sports diplomacy, STEM education programs, English language initiatives, and commemorative events that celebrate the U.S.-Malaysia partnership.
