Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS TOKYO FY2026 01
Salute to America 250 - Outreach Across Japan is a U.S. Department of State, Embassy Tokyo funding opportunity that will support major public engagement programming across Japan as part of the U.S. Mission to Japan's broader "Salute to America 250" initiative. The program period runs through December 31, 2026, and the overall goal is to deliver innovative, high-visibility activities in all 47 Japanese prefectures. The initiative is designed to showcase the historical legacy of American excellence, highlight American innovation, and celebrate key milestones in the U.S.-Japan relationship, with an emphasis on the people-to-people ties that underpin the two countries' partnership as global leaders.
Funding will be provided through cooperative agreements, meaning awardees should expect substantial involvement and coordination with the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Mission to Japan during planning and implementation. Embassy Tokyo anticipates making between one and five awards (the listing also notes an expectation of around three awards), with an award ceiling of up to USD 500,000 per award. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the activity areas are broad, spanning themes such as agriculture, arts, business and commerce, community development, education, energy, information and statistics, and natural resources, which signals that proposals can be diverse as long as they clearly advance the initiative's public diplomacy and outreach objectives.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations capable of running nationwide programming at a high level. This includes nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), think tanks, civil society and non-governmental organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, public international organizations, and governmental institutions. In practice, this eligibility range indicates the Embassy is looking for organizations with the operational capacity, partnerships, and on-the-ground reach needed to execute programs across Japan's many regions and communities.
Applications must be submitted by February 11, 2026, at 11:59 PM Japan Standard Time. All application materials must be emailed directly to TokyoPASGrants@state.gov, and applicants are expected to follow the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) instructions closely. The announcement emphasizes that proposals failing to meet stated requirements or formatting and submission rules will be deemed ineligible, so compliance with the NOFO is a key part of competitiveness and basic eligibility.
