Celebrate 250: The Spirit of America

On July 4, 2026, the United States of America will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The U.S. Embassy in Amman will commemorate this historic milestone through a nine-month campaign highlighting the impact of American history and culture, America’s innovation and achievements, and the historical and future connections between the United States and Jordan. The Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section is pleased to announce this funding opportunity as part of this yearlong celebration of “America250.” This Notice of Funding Opportunity invites proposals for creative public programs – culminating in July 2026 – that increase awareness of American history and achievements, highlight America’s founding principles, emphasize key documents such as the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, showcase U.S. leadership in science and technology, celebrate uniquely American cultural exports (e.g. music, literature, education, sports, etc.) that inspire Jordanian audiences, and ignite a spirit of innovation and cooperation between Americans and Jordanians. This initiative aligns with the broader America250 vision.
