Applications may only be submitted by eligible organizations. Eligible applicant entities include U.S. and Palestinian non-profit non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or non-profit higher education institutions.

2) Building a prosperous Palestinian economy, led by a thriving private sector, that provides equitable and inclusive economic opportunities and improves daily life for Palestinians.
