Opportunity Information: Apply for DOSGEO 23 CA 016 GEO 072023
The US-Georgia Military Partnership - TV Co-Op Program is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Georgia) public diplomacy grant opportunity designed to support a three-week television production tour in the United States for a Georgian TV crew. Run by the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, the program’s goal is to help a Georgian television company (selected/confirmed by PDS) produce broadcast-ready content that highlights key elements and benefits of the U.S.-Georgia military partnership. The expectation is that the final products will reach a wide Georgian audience through primetime airing on the participating crew’s parent television channel.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the grantee will not operate independently but will work closely with PDS throughout planning and implementation. The funded U.S. organization is expected to have proven experience designing and executing short-term filming programs for foreign (non-U.S.) television teams traveling in the United States. In practical terms, the grantee should be capable of providing an American producer or equivalent production support to handle the on-the-ground realities of a fast-paced shoot: location scouting, arranging access, identifying and scheduling relevant interviewees, coordinating B-roll opportunities, facilitating interviews, and managing the logistics that keep a multi-location production on track.
The filming tour is intended for two Georgian participants: a reporter and a cameraman. During the U.S. visit, the grantee must coordinate domestic travel, develop a detailed itinerary and shooting plan, and build an interview lineup in coordination with PDS. A PDS staff member will accompany the Georgian crew during the tour and provide interpretation as needed, which both supports execution in the field and helps ensure the content aligns with the program’s public diplomacy objectives. In addition to producing stories, the tour is also meant to strengthen the professional skills of Georgian journalists through hands-on exposure to U.S. counterparts, institutions, and best practices in field production.
Content-wise, the program focuses on portraying multiple dimensions of the U.S.-Georgia military partnership. Examples called out in the grant description include the partnership between the State of Georgia National Guard and Georgia’s National Guard, U.S. assistance to Georgia connected to building a Wounded Warrior Rehabilitation Center, and training initiatives involving U.S. Green Berets and Navy SEALs working with Georgian Special Operations Forces. Applicants are expected to propose filming plans that enable coverage across different U.S. locations and secure interviews that can credibly illustrate how the partnership functions in practice and what outcomes it delivers.
The award ceiling is $50,000, and the embassy anticipates making one award. Funding is meant to defray the costs of the intensive three-week shoot, including the kinds of production and travel expenses necessary to accomplish a multi-stop filming itinerary. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.900, categorized as discretionary, with an education-related funding activity category in the notice. The funding opportunity number is DOSGEO 23 CA 016 GEO 072023. It was posted July 20, 2023, with an original application deadline of August 21, 2023. Eligibility is broadly described as “Others,” with details referenced in the full notice’s eligibility section, but the core fit is clearly U.S.-based organizations with demonstrated capacity to manage complex production support for international TV crews.Apply for DOSGEO 23 CA 016 GEO 072023
