Opportunity Information: Apply for SVM700 20 PAS 010
The 2020 Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Summit grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SVM700 20 PAS 010) was released by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Vietnam to fund the design and delivery of a regional youth leadership summit, contingent on the availability of FY 2020 funds. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government would expect to be actively involved with the recipient during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal engagement. Only one award was anticipated, with a maximum funding level (ceiling) of up to $600,000.
At the center of the opportunity is a three-day summit program (not counting travel days) intended to convene 150 young leaders from Southeast Asia between the ages of 18 and 35. The selected organization would be responsible for developing and running a youth-focused event that is intentionally high-energy, interactive, and practical rather than purely ceremonial or lecture-based. The summit is meant to give emerging leaders a structured environment to build partnerships across borders, exchange ideas, and produce solutions to shared regional challenges.
The thematic focus for the summit is aligned with the 2020 ASEAN theme, "Cohesive and Responsive." In practice, this signals that proposals were expected to translate the theme into tangible programming, such as collaborative problem-solving sessions, innovation or design-thinking workshops, leadership and civic engagement training, and facilitated networking that helps participants form cross-sector and cross-country teams. The overall intent is to strengthen regional cooperation and responsiveness by equipping young Southeast Asian leaders with skills, connections, and actionable concepts they can carry forward after the summit.
From an eligibility standpoint, the competition was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity (for example, nonprofits, educational institutions, private organizations, or other qualified groups), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full notice. The opportunity was categorized under an earmark and was associated with CFDA number 19.040, with activity areas spanning community development, education, regional development, and science and technology/research and development, reflecting the broad range of potential summit content and participant initiatives.
Key administrative details include a posting/creation date of February 28, 2020, and an original application deadline of April 10, 2020. The award recipient would be expected to not only host the event itself but also oversee end-to-end implementation, which typically includes program design, participant experience and engagement strategies, speaker/facilitator coordination, agenda development, logistics planning, and overall project management consistent with cooperative agreement requirements and U.S. government reporting and oversight expectations.Apply for SVM700 20 PAS 010
