2025 U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP)

The 2025 U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) is a competitive global fund that supports cultural heritage preservation projects in other countries. The program aims to demonstrate U.S. respect for cultural heritage and promote economic growth and preserving cultural heritage. The AFCP Grants Program supports the preservation of archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, museum collections, and forms of traditional cultural expression, such as indigenous languages and crafts. The program has two rounds of application, with concept notes due on January 3, 2025, and full proposals due on April 30, 2025. Some key points to consider for this opportunity include: • The program has a focus on preserving cultural heritage in countries with limited bilateral relations with the US. • The program supports a wide range of project activities, including anastylosis, conservation, consolidation, documentation, inventory, preventive conservation, restoration, and stabilization. • The program has a strong emphasis on community engagement and participation, and proposals should demonstrate how the project will contribute to the local community and promote cultural diversity and good governance. • The program is highly competitive, and only a limited number of projects will be selected for funding. • The program has a relatively long project duration, with projects lasting from 12 to 60 months.
