US Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation accepting proposals for preservation of cultural heritage

The U.S. Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) is accepting proposals for the preservation of cultural heritage until November 22, 2018.

All finalists to receive grants will be notified in writing by the U.S. Embassy.

AFCP was established to help countries preserve cultural heritage and to demonstrate U.S. respect for other cultures. The AFCP is aimed at preserving cultural sites or objects that have an historical or cultural significance to the cultural heritage of Serbia.

Proposals may be submitted to preserve cultural heritage in the areas of cultural sites (historical buildings and sites, sacred places, monuments, and archaeological sites), cultural objects and collections from a museum, cultural site, or similar institution (archaeological and ethnographic objects, paintings, sculpture, manuscripts, photographic and film collections, and general museum conservation activities) and forms of traditional cultural expression (traditional music, rituals, knowledge, languages, dance, drama, and crafts).

AFCP gives top priority to project activities in keeping with international standards for the preservation of cultural heritage. An appropriate preservation activity is one that protects the values of the site, object or collection, or form of traditional cultural expression as they are understood by stakeholders. Stakeholders may include national, regional, or local cultural authorities, the local community, and others with vested interests in the site and the outcome of a project.
