PUAN will start accepting grant applications from January 01, 2025 under PUAN Grants Program. The PUAN Grants Program is jointly administered by the U.S. Mission and the Pakistan-U.S. Alumni Network (PUAN). This grant program aims to strengthen mutual understanding between the American and Pakistani people and encourages alumni to leverage their exchange programs’ learning to put ideas into action to create meaningful change. Under this program, PUAN will offer three types of funding opportunities with an implementation period of six months.
- Thematic PUAN Grants will be capped at 1.5 million PKR (an increase from the previous 1 million PKR limit).
- Open Concept PUAN Grants will be capped at 1 million PKR (an increase from the previous 500,000 PKR limit).
- PUAN Connect Grants will be used to network and strengthen connections between PUAN members at the local and chapter level. These PUAN Grants will be capped at 250,000 PKR. Keep an eye on our blog as we reveal more details on January 01, 2025.
The maximum grant period is six months from approval date. Funds for approved/successful proposals are expected to be disbursed in late March 2025. Project activities should not be planned before the start of April 2025 and must not go beyond 30 September 2025.
