Liberty Under Law: The Shared Anglo-American Tradition

The U.S. Department of State invites eligible organizations to submit proposals for innovative, high-visibility public education and civic-engagement programs in the United Kingdom that deepen public understanding of the shared Anglo-American common law tradition, and/or to commemorate the 70th anniversary in 2027 of the American Bar Association’s unveiling of the Magna Carta Memorial in Runnymede, UK that honors the foundation of the rule of law. Priority will be given to ambitious initiatives that connect foundational principles, such as freedom of speech, due process, trial by jury, limited government, rule of law, property rights, taxation by consent, and ordered liberty to contemporary civic life.

The following organizations are eligible to apply: • U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, universities, or consortia with demonstrated experience in transatlantic programming. • U.K.-based registered charities, educational institutions, or non-profit organizations that partner with at least one U.S. entity (partnership must be clearly documented in the proposal). • Consortia of the above, provided a single lead applicant assumes legal and financial responsibility.
