The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs plans to award up to three cooperative agreements totaling $9 million to support initiatives aligned with the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition led by First Lady Melania Trump. The funded projects will focus on advancing child well-being, protecting youth online, and promoting positive youth development in three designated member countries of the coalition.

The initiative also aims to bolster government capacity at national and local levels to combat online exploitation, enforce labor laws, and respond to digital threats, while working in coordination with existing national priorities and the First Spouse’s agenda. Partnerships with private sector actors are required to foster sustainable, market-driven solutions to child labor and digital risks. All activities must be implemented in the three designated coalition countries, with funding contingent on the availability of appropriated resources. Prospective applicants are encouraged to register for updates via Grants.gov, and inquiries may be directed to the specified point of contact, though information remains limited as the solicitation is still in development.
