U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation Grants Program

The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Brazil are announcing an open competition for organizations to submit project proposals for funding through the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP). The AFCP program supports projects to preserve cultural heritage in the following areas: cultural sites, cultural objects and collections, and forms of traditional cultural expression. The program aims to demonstrate U.S. respect for other cultures and to help countries preserve cultural heritage. The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Brazil will give preference to projects that focus on the preservation of culture affected by the climate crisis, Afro-descendent culture in Brazil, and the culture of indigenous peoples in Brazil. Some key aspects of this opportunity include: • The deadline for submitting proposals is December 26, 2023. • The program supports a wide range of cultural heritage preservation projects. • The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Brazil will select proposals through a two-part process, with selected applicants invited to submit comprehensive proposal applications. • The program reflects American values and demonstrates U.S. friendship. • The Department of State coordinates a competitive review of proposals.
