2010 Ambassadors Fund For Cultural Preservation
October 21, 2009
The Embassy of the United States is now accepting project proposals for the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) 2010 competition.
The deadline for submitting proposals is December 04, 2009. The program is being administered by the Cultural Heritage Center of the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Department of State.
Since FY 2001, the U.S. Congress has directed the Department of State to support and implement the AFCP. Congress has noted that "Cultural preservation offers an opportunity to show a different American face to other countries. By taking a leading role in efforts to preserve cultural heritage, we show our respect for other cultures." Once project proposals are received, U.S. Ambassadors in eligible countries may submit proposals for projects that are designed for the preservation of cultural heritage.
