Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS JOR FY25 006
The American Prosperity: Foreign Investment Readiness Program is a U.S. Mission to Jordan funding opportunity designed to help promising Jordanian startups become capable of entering, competing in, and partnering within the United States market. The central idea is that Jordan has built a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem in recent years, supported by local investment, accelerators, and some notable U.S.-linked business activity, but most high-potential ventures still operate mainly inside Jordan or the region and do not translate into meaningful commercial benefit for the United States. The program targets the practical barriers that keep Jordanian entrepreneurs from making that jump, especially limited access to U.S. networks, incomplete understanding of U.S. regulatory and market expectations, and a general lack of investment readiness for U.S.-based fundraising and expansion.
A key feature of the opportunity is the emphasis on preparing Jordanian ventures to engage directly with U.S. market pathways and programs, including SelectUSA Tech, a U.S. Department of Commerce initiative that can connect international startups to American investors, partners, and expansion resources. The funded project is expected to equip entrepreneurs with the awareness, preparation, and advisory support needed to navigate U.S. business norms and structures, improve their readiness to raise capital or establish a presence in the United States, and position themselves to build partnerships with U.S. companies. In practice, this implies activities such as coaching and mentorship, exposure to U.S. business models, guidance on compliance and regulatory considerations, investment pitch refinement tailored to U.S. investors, and structured networking that links Jordanian founders to relevant U.S. stakeholders.
From the U.S. government perspective, the program is framed as an economic and strategic initiative that promotes American prosperity by encouraging trade and investment flows that benefit the United States. It also explicitly aims to reinforce U.S. commercial influence and strengthen U.S.-Jordan ties by showcasing the United States as Jordan's preferred economic partner in entrepreneurship and innovation. The opportunity highlights U.S. values tied to private enterprise, innovation, and the rule of law, and it connects startup growth to broader bilateral economic engagement by creating avenues for Jordanian companies to scale in ways that lead to U.S. partnerships, U.S. market activity, and potentially Jordanian investment into the United States.
This is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects to remain involved in the project beyond a standard pass-through grant (for example, through collaboration, coordination, or oversight during implementation). The funding opportunity number is PAS JOR FY25 006, and the CFDA number listed is 19.040. The program anticipates making one award, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $500,000.
Eligible applicants include certain U.S. and Jordan-based organizations, particularly not-for-profit entities such as think tanks, educational institutions, and civil society or non-governmental organizations, as well as public and private educational institutions. The eligibility data also references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities, reflecting that both nonprofit and education-sector implementers are central to the intended project design.
The application process is email-only: submissions must be sent to AmmanGrants@state.gov, and applications submitted through Grants.gov will not be accepted. The original closing date listed for applications is 2025-09-01.Apply for PAS JOR FY25 006
