archived

The U.S. Consulate General Osaka-Kobe, Public Affairs Section, announces the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for an annual grant program whose goal is the organization of a day-long “American Day” cultural and informational event in a prominent public location in or around Osaka to showcase various aspects of American culture while promoting tourism and study in the United States. Events in previous years featured stage performances of various American musical styles interspersed with informational presentations on study abroad and tourism in the U.S., as well as a wide variety of information booths (staffed by Consulate employees, volunteers, representatives from American universities, and other organizations), food vendors, and merchants promoting American products. Funding provided by this grant is intended to support event planning and production; set-up, tear-down and operating costs, including venue fees and event staff; expenses associated with musical and other performances; advertisement and promotion; as well as reasonable administrative and clerical expenses.
