The Brunei Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Summit 2022 grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State funding competition run by the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Mission to Brunei Darussalam. It is designed to support a partner organization in developing and delivering a YSEALI Summit in Brunei that focuses on the theme "The Green Recovery: Finding Cool Solutions for a Warming Planet." The summit concept centers on climate and sustainability, with an emphasis on practical, forward-looking ideas and leadership development for young people in Southeast Asia, while also aligning with YSEALI goals of strengthening regional networks and civic engagement.

This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means the U.S. government expects to be actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds. In practice, applicants should anticipate coordination with the U.S. Mission during planning, implementation, and reporting, and they should be prepared to incorporate input and collaboration requirements described in the official Notice of Funding Opportunity. The program is framed broadly across several activity areas, including environment and natural resources, science and technology and other research and development, community development, education, employment and training, business and commerce, and cultural/humanities-related public engagement elements. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 19.040.

Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $320,000, and the posting lists an expected number of awards as 50. The competition was created on April 29, 2021, with an original closing date of June 30, 2021. Applicants were instructed to follow the formal requirements in the Notice of Funding Opportunity and to consult the version posted on the U.S. Embassy website for complete application instructions, required components, and compliance expectations.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification directed to the Notice of Funding Opportunity under the section labeled "Additional Information on Eligibility." That typically signals that multiple organization types may be able to apply (for example, certain nonprofits, educational institutions, civil society groups, or other eligible entities), but the final determination depends on the specific criteria and any limitations spelled out in the full notice. Overall, this funding opportunity aims to resource an organization capable of convening, programming, and delivering a significant regional youth summit in Brunei centered on green recovery solutions and climate action leadership within the YSEALI framework.
