The European Commission is allocating up to €1 million to a program aimed to promote activities and events, within local and regional communities in the United States, to raise awareness of the European Union (EU), its international role, and the value and significance of the EU-US transatlantic partnership.  

Around twelve grants of up to €100,000 each will be awarded, with a minimum grant award of €50,000. The Commission contribution will cover up to 75% of total project costs, and applicants must be able to provide at least 25% towards these total project costs. Proposals and projects  must be presented by September 13, 2010.
