You are invited to work with U.S. Embassy Colombo’s Public Affairs Section to develop and submit proposals for possible funding under this initiative. To date, through the AFCP program the Embassy has supported ten projects in Sri Lanka valued at almost $900,000 and four projects in Maldives valued at nearly $96,000. Funding Range for Individual Awards: From $10,000 to $200,000 per project. In Fiscal Year 2017, awards ranged from US $24,000 to US $174,000.
