Competition Format
This opportunity consists of two application rounds: Round 1 (Project Abstract) and Round 2 (Full Application). During Round 1, applicants shall submit project abstracts to the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria. If, after the technical review, rating, and ranking of abstracts, the Department of State invites an applicant to advance to Round 2, the applicants will be invited to submit a full project application to the Embassy.

All proposed activities must take place in South Africa and must support at least one of the
following foreign policy goals:
A. Promote American leadership in cultural preservation
B. Cultivate increased educational and institutional ties between the U.S. and South Africa
C. Promote American values, such as tolerance, education, innovation, and respect for cultural diversity.
Funding Areas
The AFCP Large Grants Program supports the preservation of major ancient archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, and major museum collections that are accessible to the public and protected by law in the host country. Appropriate project activities may include:
A. Preventive conservation (addressing conditions that damage or threaten the site)
B. Stabilization (reducing the physical disturbance [settling, collapse, etc.] of a site)
C. Conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to a collection or sites)
D. Consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of a site)
E. Anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts)
F. Restoration (replacing missing elements to recreate the original appearance of a site, usually appropriate only with fine arts, decorative arts, and historic buildings)
Applications for projects that directly support one or more of the following will receive additional consideration in FY 2019:

Special Note Regarding Sites and Objects that have a Religious Connection: The establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution permits the government to include religious objects and sites within an aid program under certain conditions. For example, an item with a religious connection (including a place of worship) may be the subject of a cultural preservation grant if the item derives its primary significance and is nominated solely on the basis of architectural, artistic, historical, or other cultural (not religious) criteria.
Eligible Project Applicants
Eligible project applicants are defined as reputable and accountable non-commercial entities, such as 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, that are registered and active in SAM.gov and able to demonstrate that they have the requisite experience and capacity to manage projects to preserve cultural heritage. The Embassy will vet
applicants for eligibility, suitability, and reputable performance in cultural preservation or similar activities and ensure that the applicants are able to receive U.S. federal assistance.
