Get Ready for the 2013 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund
The third annual Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) launches on April 24. This year’s competition invites alumni teams to propose projects to address global issues under project categories including Empowering Women, Outreach to Underserved Communities, Entrepreneurship and Youth Employment, Expanded Access to Education, Environmental Protection, Government Transparency, Freedom of Expression, Conflict Resolution, Citizen Security, and Promoting Civil Society.
Competition Overview and Participant Requirements
The State Department created AEIF to support alumni initiatives that promote shared values and innovative solutions to global challenges. As in years past, the 2013 AEIF competition will be hosted on the International Exchange Alumni website. Participants will be required to compete in teams of at least ten alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. All ten of these members must be verified members of the International Exchange Alumni website in order to participate. Winning teams will be awarded up to $25,000 in support of their projects. Read a complete description of the 2013 AEIF competition on the 2013 AEIF pages on International Exchange Alumni.
Promoting the Competition to Your Alumni
As all alumni team members must be verified members of International Exchange Alumni in order to participate in AEIF, we encourage you to take the next three weeks to promote the competition launch and encourage your unregistered alumni to register on the site before the competition begins on April 24. Attached, you’ll find promotional resources including a social media toolkit, email/newsletter language, and graphics to support your promotional efforts. We will continue to provide you with additional promotional resources as we move through the phases of the competition.
