The FY26 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund supports alumni-led projects and summits that strengthen U.S.-German relations and advance U.S. policy objectives. Funding ranges from $5,000 to $40,000 for projects promoting Freedom 250 themes such as safety, prosperity, and freedom of speech. Projects must engage alumni networks, include measurable outcomes, and focus on areas like sports diplomacy, science, and countering anti-Semitism.
Eligibility is limited to alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. Additional eligibility details are provided in the full funding announcement.
