The Public Diplomacy Challenge Fund (PDCF) supports imaginative, high quality, practical projects that promote a modern and relevant UK overseas and support the FCO's strategic priorities. The fund is administered by the FCO's Public Diplomacy Group.
There are two funding rounds a year. There is a lower limit of £5000 and a ceiling of £250,000 for individual bids. Bids will be judged against other competing bids, and measured in terms of how well they fulfil the Public Diplomacy Challenge Fund Criteria.
