Opportunity Information: Apply for TOKYO PAS FY21 01 10
The FY2021 U.S. Embassy Tokyo: Advancing Female and Youth Entrepreneurship opportunity is a discretionary funding competition run by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Embassy Tokyo under the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Japan. The core purpose is to support a program (or programs) that strengthen women s and youth entrepreneurship in Japan, with the broader policy goals of encouraging sustainable economic growth and deepening the U.S.-Japan economic partnership. In practice, this kind of PAS funding typically supports public diplomacy style initiatives that connect communities, institutions, and professional networks in ways that highlight shared economic priorities and promote longer-term collaboration.
Funding is offered through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, meaning applicants may receive standard grant funding or may work more closely with the U.S. government during implementation depending on the structure and needs of the project. The funding activity area is categorized under Business and Commerce (CFDA 19.040), which signals that proposals should be strongly aligned with entrepreneurship, business capacity building, innovation, and related ecosystem development rather than unrelated cultural or purely academic programming.
The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $70,000 per award and anticipated making up to three awards. That suggests the Embassy expected to fund a small number of focused projects with clear outcomes, rather than a large portfolio of small microgrants. Applicants would generally need to design a program that can be realistically implemented at this scale, with a tight scope, concrete deliverables, and measurable results tied to entrepreneurship advancement among women and youth in Japan.
A wide range of applicants were eligible, including state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories). This eligibility list signals that the Embassy was open to partnering with many types of organizations that can credibly operate international programs, convene stakeholders, and deliver training or support services, as long as the proposed work directly advances the stated entrepreneurship goals.
Key dates for the competition were a creation date of February 1, 2021 and an original application closing date of March 31, 2021. The funding opportunity number is TOKYO PAS FY21 01 10, and the title is FY2021 U.S. Embassy Tokyo: Advancing Female and Youth Entrepreneurship. Overall, the grant was positioned as a targeted, competitive State Department public affairs funding opportunity to catalyze practical entrepreneurship support for women and young people in Japan while reinforcing bilateral economic ties between the United States and Japan.Apply for TOKYO PAS FY21 01 10
