Description

The U.S Mission to Nigeria is accepting proposals from eligible organizations seeking project funding through the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) for fiscal year 2022. The deadline for the submission of proposals is December 5, 2021 at 11:59pm. AFCP Program Objectives: The Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Grants Program was established in 2001 at the request of the Congress, reflected in the Conference Report on the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2001 (P. L. 106-553). AFCP was launched to preserve cultural heritage and to demonstrate U.S. respect for other cultures. The aim is to preserve of major ancient archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, and major museum collections that have an historical or cultural significance to the cultural heritage of Nigeria.Appropriate project activities may include: a) Anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts); b) Conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to an object or site); c) Consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of an object or site); d) Documentation (recording in analog or digital format the condition and salient features of an object, site, or tradition); e) Inventory (listing of objects, sites, or traditions by location, feature, age, or other unifying characteristic or state); f) Preventive Conservation (addressing conditions that threaten or damage a site, object, collection, or tradition); g) Restoration (replacing missing elements to recreate the original appearance of an object or site, usually appropriate only with fine arts, decorative arts, and historic buildings); h) Stabilization (reducing the physical disturbance of an object or site). Competition Format: Both AFCP small and large grants are now combined to a single program and projects will be selected in two rounds. During Round 1, embassies will submit concept notes for both small and large projects that focus on the public diplomacy objectives that may be accomplished through the proposed project. Applicants invited to participate in Round 2 will flesh out the technical aspects of the proposed project and submit a full application. Awards will range from $10,000 to $500,000.
