About this opportunity

The U.S. Mission in Saudi Arabia Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) is pleased to announce an open competition for not-for-profit organizations (NGOs), think tanks, and academic institutions to organize and host the AEIF 2026 Alumni Summit in Riyadh. Given the program’s intersection with U.S. government exchange funded alumni, we encourage alumni with linkages to qualifying organizations to consider applying for this opportunity via the appropriate institutional vehicle.The goal of this initiative is to activate, unite, and strengthen U.S. exchange alumni networks across Saudi Arabia's three posts (Embassy Riyadh, Consulate General Jeddah, and Consulate General Dhahran) as active strategic partners in advancing shared U.S.-Saudi priorities. Aligned with Freedom 250, the summit celebrates American values of leadership, innovation, and civic engagement, reinforcing U.S. policy priorities of making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

Portfolio context — this listing covers more than this opportunity

This opportunity is funded under Assistance Listing 19.022 (“Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs Appropriation Overseas Grants”), a broad federal program that made about 723 new awards per year over the last five fiscal years (median award $15k). Those figures describe that whole portfolio — not this specific solicitation, so we don't show them as if they were this opportunity's track record.

Applicant counts per solicitation are not published by any federal agency — no one can honestly sell you that number.
