| Description: |
The U.S. Embassy to Sri Lanka and Maldives is pleased to announce the call for abstracts for the 2020 Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Large Grants Program. We invite you to work with the Public Affairs section at U.S. Embassy to Sri Lanka and Maldives to develop and submit abstracts for possible funding under this initiative. The Department of State established the AFCP in 2000 at the request of Congress. The preservation of cultural heritage “offers an opportunity to show a different American face to other countries, one that is non-commercial, non-political, and non-military.” AFCP projects strengthen civil society, encourage good governance, and promote political and economic stability around the world. To date, through the AFCP Large Grants program the Embassy has supported two projects in Sri Lanka valued at almost $250,000. Applications for projects that do one or more of the following will receive additional consideration in FY 2020:
a) Support U.S. treaty or bilateral agreement obligations. b) Support U.S. Embassy Integrated Country Strategy (ICS) goals. c) Support disaster risk reduction for cultural heritage in disaster-prone areas. d) Support post-disaster cultural heritage recovery. e) Preserve World Heritage sites. f) Partner, connect with or feed into other ECA programs.
You are invited to send project abstracts for preservation of major ancient archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, and major museum collections in Sri Lanka and Maldives that are accessible to the public and protected by law in the host country through this program.
This opportunity is open to non-governmental organizations, museums, ministries of culture, or similar institutions and organizations, including U.S.-based organizations subject to Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. The AFCP Large grants Program takes place in two rounds: Project Abstract (Round 1) and Full Project Proposal (Round 2). Only those applicants whose abstracts are successfully reviewed will be eligible to develop and submit full proposals for round 2. Full implementation of the AFCP 2020 program is pending the availability of FY 2020. Complete details regarding abstracts requirements are available on the Embassy’s website at: |
