Summary
This funding opportunity supports creative, scholarly, and cultural exchange activities that deepen connections between regions, particularly between communities in Asia and those in the United States and beyond. It is designed to help individuals and organizations undertake immersive artistic, research, and professional development experiences that foster cross-cultural understanding and collaboration. The intent of the funding is to provide recipients with the flexibility to pursue meaningful work that advances their craft, expands their professional network, and contributes to broader cultural dialogue.
Individuals who may benefit from this opportunity include artists, scholars, cultural practitioners, and graduate students who are pursuing international study, research, creative development, or professional exchange. Funding can be used to support travel, living expenses, research costs, and project development during a period of immersion outside the applicant’s home region. Recipients are selected based on the strength of their proposal, the potential impact of their work, and the degree to which their plans contribute to mutual understanding and artistic or scholarly growth.

These organizational awards are aimed at expanding the reach of cultural exchange, supporting joint creative ventures, and enabling institutions to host or send practitioners as part of broader exchange efforts. While small businesses and for-profit ventures are not the primary focus of this opportunity, mission-driven nonprofits and arts organizations with programs that facilitate meaningful intercultural engagement are encouraged to apply.
The opportunity is generally available to applicants across multiple countries and regions, though specific eligibility may depend on the type of award sought. Awards are typically offered on an annual cycle, allowing applicants to plan ahead and tailor proposals to align with their professional and artistic goals. Funding amounts vary depending on the nature of the project and the geographic scope of the proposed activities, with the aim of making significant contributions to individual careers and organizational capacities in the realm of international cultural exchange.
If you are located in Louisiana and working in the area of Community Development & Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
