AEIF provides alumni of U.S. sponsored and facilitated exchange programs with funding to expand on skills gained during their exchange experience to design and implement innovative solutions to global challenges facing their community. Since its inception in 2011, AEIF has funded nearly 500 alumni-led projects around the world through a competitive global competition. This year, AEIF 2024 will support the United States’ commitment to Georgia’s further integration with the West as a more democratic and stable country.

...● Exposure to American culture and shared values, particularly for those in regions;
● Strengthen economic prosperity, promote innovation, foster entrepreneurship, and improve the digital economy;
● Reinforce democratic values;
● Community integration, inclusion, and tolerance-building;
● Skills building for women, youth, and people with disabilities;
● Supporting de-occupation and reconciliation;
● Projects that support cultural preservation in rural areas or in marginalized communities.
AEIF projects must address at least one of the following: Bring alumni together from different exchange programs to build or expand an alumni network capable of working together on common interests and increase regional and global collaboration of alumni.
