Opportunity Information: Apply for 12
The Development Cooperation Partnership (DCP) Program, Round 12 is a grant competition run by the U.S. Mission to Ukraine (U.S. Embassy Kyiv) through its Office of the Assistance Coordinator. The program is designed to expand and strengthen U.S. foreign assistance partnerships by working jointly with 11 eligible partner donor governments (PDGs) in Central and Eastern Europe. The overall purpose is to support the Ukrainian peoples aspirations tied to European integration and democratic transformation, while also contributing to broader goals of peace and security. In practice, this opportunity is about building cooperative, multi-donor engagement where U.S. assistance aligns with and leverages support from participating European partner governments to maximize impact.
This is a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) categorized under the opportunity category "Other" and listed under the activity category of Business and Commerce (CFDA/Assistance Listing: 19.878). While the listing category is broad, the description makes clear that the policy focus is governance and democratic development, European integration, and stability-related outcomes for Ukraine. Applicants should expect that competitive proposals will clearly show how a project advances these strategic aims and how it strengthens or operationalizes partnerships with the eligible Central and Eastern European PDGs.
A wide range of applicants are eligible. The opportunity is open to not-for-profit organizations such as think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations, as well as public and private educational institutions and research institutions. Public international organizations and governmental institutions are also eligible to apply. This wide eligibility suggests the Embassy is looking for proposals that can be implemented by different types of entities, including those with policy expertise, training and research capacity, civic engagement networks, or formal public-sector implementation experience.
Key funding details are straightforward. The award ceiling is $250,000 per award, and the program anticipates making up to 10 awards. The original application closing date is February 13, 2025. The opportunity was created on December 13, 2024. Taken together, the ceiling and expected number of awards indicate a portfolio approach: the Embassy intends to fund multiple projects rather than a single large effort, which can allow support across several themes, regions, or implementation models that align with European integration, democratic reform, and peace and security objectives.
In summary, DCP Round 12 is a U.S. Embassy Kyiv funding opportunity meant to catalyze practical partnerships between U.S. foreign assistance and select Central and Eastern European partner donor governments, using grant funding to support Ukraines trajectory toward European integration, democratic transformation, and a more secure and peaceful future. Organizations that can demonstrate credible partnerships, clear outcomes tied to these objectives, and the ability to deliver a well-scoped project within a $250,000 cap are the core target for this competition.Apply for 12
