Summary
Eurasia Foundation Act - (Sec. 3) Directs the Secretary of State to make an annual grant to the Eurasia Foundation to: (1) promote civil society, private enterprise, and public administration and policy in the countries of Eurasia; (2) strengthen indigenous institutions that foster national development, social change, economic growth, and cooperative international relationships consistent with U.S. interests in Eurasia; and (3) conduct programs in the region that would be difficult or impossible for an official U.S. entity. Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) an appropriately funded Foundation can contribute significantly to the political, economic, and social development of democracy and human rights in the countries of Eurasia; (2) organizations that seek competitive grants typically perform in a more transparent and effective manner; and (3) the Foundation should seek competitive grants to supplement federal appropriations. (Sec. 4) Sets forth grant eligibility provisions.
