Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0016648
The FY 2025 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) International Airport Arrivals and Departures Program is a U.S. Department of State opportunity run by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of International Visitors (ECA/PE/V). It is offered as an open competition for a single implementing partner, contingent on the availability of FY 2025 funding. The purpose of the program ties directly to the broader IVLP mission, which began in 1940: bringing current and emerging international leaders to the United States for short-term, professionally focused visits that strengthen mutual understanding and support U.S. foreign policy objectives. In this particular grant, the emphasis is on the operational and logistical function implied by the title: supporting the arrivals and departures component of IVLP international travel through U.S. airports, which is a key enabling function for IVLP exchanges to run smoothly and safely.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects active involvement in how the project is carried out rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," and the CFDA/assistance listing number associated with the IVLP is 19.402. The government is expecting to make one award under this notice, with an award ceiling of $512,500, indicating the maximum amount available for the selected recipient to operate the program within the project period described in the full announcement.
Eligible applicants include a fairly broad range of U.S.-based organizations that are typically able to carry out federally funded exchange support work. This includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. The listing also includes "Others," which usually signals that additional organization types may be eligible if they meet federal and program-specific requirements laid out in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The administering agency is the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
A key application rule is that ECA will only consider one proposal per applicant organization. If an organization submits more than one application package through Grants.gov, ECA will treat the submission closest to the deadline as the official entry and will disregard earlier submissions. This is important for organizations that may be iterating on drafts or attempting multiple uploads; it effectively makes the final timestamped submission the only version that counts.
The opportunity’s identifier is Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0016648, and the title is exactly "FY 2025 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) International Airport Arrivals and Departures Program." The posting was created on 2024-06-05, and the original closing date is 2024-08-05. Anyone considering applying would need to use that window to prepare and submit a single, complete application in accordance with the NOFO’s requirements, including any specific technical approach, staffing plan, coordination expectations, monitoring and evaluation expectations, compliance obligations, and budget rules that often accompany cooperative agreements administered by ECA.
Overall, this grant is best understood as funding a single organization to serve as the operational backbone for the airport arrival and departure portion of IVLP exchanges, ensuring participants moving through U.S. international gateways receive coordinated, reliable support consistent with IVLP’s long-running exchange goals and ECA’s diplomatic and public engagement mission. For full implementation details, performance expectations, and required deliverables, the NOFO itself is the controlling document referenced in the announcement.Apply for DFOP0016648
