Opportunity Information: Apply for 4216 24 002
The Malta - Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) 2024 grant is a U.S. Embassy in Malta funding opportunity to select one non-profit implementing partner to design and run the full AWE program cycle in Malta, from outreach and recruitment through participant graduation. The embassy is looking for an organization that can take ownership of planning, coordinating, and delivering a structured entrepreneurship training experience that combines the DreamBuilder online curriculum with locally tailored facilitation, coaching, and in-person (or hybrid) activities that reflect Malta's business environment.
The selected implementer is expected to promote the program publicly, solicit and manage applications, and recruit a cohort of at least 30 women entrepreneurs and early-stage business owners. The target participants are women roughly age 25 and above who are either preparing to start a business or have recently launched one, and who can commit to completing the full training program. A core part of the model is providing facilitators who understand the local entrepreneurial ecosystem and can guide participants through DreamBuilder as discussion leaders, mentors, and practical coaches, supplementing the online content with localized training sessions and relevant activities.
Beyond training delivery, the implementing partner serves as the primary liaison between the participants, U.S. Embassy Malta, and other AWE stakeholders. That includes facilitating communication, keeping participants engaged, encouraging on-time completion, monitoring progress, and providing reporting on outcomes and participation. The partner is also expected to handle public-facing promotion and communications, with an emphasis on highlighting the U.S. connection to the program and the partnership with the U.S. Embassy. This messaging component is meant to reinforce positive local perceptions of U.S. support for professional exchange and women's economic empowerment in Malta.
Networking is described as a key element of the program, so the implementer should plan opportunities for participants to connect with alumni, executives, and successful business owners. These events are intended to strengthen peer learning, mentorship, and real-world business connections that can help participants sustain momentum after the formal coursework ends.
In terms of eligibility and structure, only non-profit entities or organizations can apply for and receive the grant, and applicants should be NGOs operating in Malta. However, the program can involve collaboration with private-sector or for-profit partners as long as any services they provide to the project are offered on a pro-bono basis. The award information indicates a single expected award with a funding ceiling of $40,000 under a grant instrument.
