US Embassy sets up community empowerment fund

The United States Embassy in Manila, in partnership with five American Spaces in Mindanao, has announced the launch of the US Embassy Community Empowerment Fund. The fund offers a single grant of up to $5,000 to local nongovernment organizations in Mindanao to promote entrepreneurship, rule of law, English language, civic engagement, education, and the environment.

Hosted in embassies, schools, libraries, and other partner institutions worldwide, American Spaces are platforms for providing information about the United States, our policy, culture, and values; English language learning; alumni activities, and information about study in the US.
