U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation: The U.S. Embassy in Lusaka and the Cultural Heritage Center (“the Center”) of the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs are pleased to announce the 2020 call for proposals for the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Grants Competition. The Center is implementing several changes to the program during this cycle. This includes combining the small and large grant programs into a single program. Pending availability of funds, awards will range from $10,000 to $500,000. To ease the administrative burden on embassies and potential grantees, the Center is dividing the application process into two rounds and reducing the amount of information required up front. Competition Format: The deadline for submitting a concept note and supporting budget for Round 1 to the Embassy is November 25, 2020. Completed concept notes for Round 1 must be submitted electronically to [email protected] with 2021 AFCP Competition in the subject line.
