AMBASSADORS FUND FOR CULTURAL PRESERVATION

Home Startpagina | Education & Culture | Ambassadors Fund for Cultural
Preservation

Deadline for applications: noon on December 1, 2022.
Contact: Paramaribo-grants@state.gov

The U.S. Embassy in Suriname announces a call for proposals to put forward for
the planned 2023 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) competition.
For more on AFCP click here:
https://eca.state.gov/cultural-heritage-center/ambassadors-fund-cultural-preservation

Pending availability of funds, awards will range from $10,000 to $500,000

What can be funded?

Funding Areas: The AFCP Grants Program supports the preservation of
archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, museum collections, and
forms of traditional cultural expression, such as indigenous languages and
crafts. Appropriate project activities may include:

 * a) Anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts)
 * b) Conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to an object or site)
 * c) Consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of an object or site)
 * d) Documentation (recording in analog or digital format the condition and
   salient features of an object, site, or tradition)
 * e) Inventory (listing of objects, sites, or traditions by location, feature,
   age, or other unifying characteristic or state)
 * f) Preventive Conservation (addressing conditions that threaten or damage a
   site, object, collection, or tradition)
 * g) Restoration (replacing missing elements to recreate the original
   appearance of an object or site, usually appropriate only with fine arts,
   decorative arts, and historic buildings)
 * h) Stabilization (reducing the physical disturbance of an object or site)

Sites and Objects Having 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.

What is not funded?

AFCP does not support the following activities or costs, and the Center will
deem applications requesting AFCP support for any of these activities or costs
ineligible:

 * a) Preservation or purchase of privately or commercially owned cultural
   objects, collections, or real property, including those whose transfer from
   private or commercial to public ownership is envisioned, planned, or in
   process but not complete at the time of application.
 * b) Preservation of natural heritage (physical, biological, and geological
   formations, paleontological collections, habitats of threatened species of
   animals and plants, fossils, etc.) unless the natural heritage has a cultural
   heritage connection or dimension.
 * c) Preservation of hominid or human remains.
 * d) Preservation of news media (newspapers, newsreels, radio and TV programs,
   etc.).
 * e) Preservation of published materials available elsewhere (books,
   periodicals, etc.).
 * f) Development of curricula or educational materials for classroom use.
 * g) Archaeological excavations or exploratory surveys for research purposes.
 * h) Historical research, except in cases where the research is justifiable and
   integral to the success of the proposed project.
 * i) Acquisition or creation of new exhibits, objects, or collections for new
   or existing museums.
 * j) Construction of new buildings, building additions, or permanent coverings
   (over archaeological sites, for example).
 * k) Commissions of new works of art or architecture for commemorative or
   economic development purposes.
 * l) Creation of new or the modern adaptation of existing traditional dances,
   songs, chants, musical compositions, plays, or other performances.
 * m) Creation of replicas or conjectural reconstructions of cultural objects or
   sites that no longer exist.
 * n) Relocation of cultural sites from one physical location to another.
 * o) Removal of cultural objects or elements of cultural sites from the country
   for any reason.
 * p) Digitization of cultural objects or collections, unless part of a larger,
   clearly defined conservation, documentation, or public diplomacy effort.
 * q) Conservation plans or other studies, unless they are one component of a
   larger project to implement the results of those studies.
 * r) Cash reserves, endowments, or revolving funds (funds must be expended
   within the award period [up to five years] and may not be used to create an
   endowment or revolving fund).
 * s) Costs of fund-raising campaigns.
 * t) Contingency, unforeseen, or miscellaneous costs or fees.
 * u) Costs of work performed prior to announcement of the award unless
   allowable per 2 CFR 200.458 and approved by the Grants Officer.
 * v) International travel, except in cases where travel is justifiable and
   integral to the success of the proposed project or to provide project leaders
   with learning and exchange opportunities with cultural heritage experts.
 * w) Individual projects costing less than US $10,000 or more than $500,000.
 * x) Independent U.S. projects overseas.

Who can apply?

Eligible implementers may include non-governmental organizations, museums,
educational institutions, ministries of culture, or similar institutions and
organizations, including U.S.-based educational institutions and organizations
subject to Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. The AFCP will not award grants to
individuals, commercial entities, or past award recipients that have not
fulfilled the objectives or reporting requirements of previous awards.

Potential implementers must be registered and active in the U.S. government’s
System for Award Management (SAM) to receive U.S. federal assistance.

How do you apply?

This year, the process is thinned down and in multiple stages. For the first
round, applicants should submit a proposal via email to
Paramaribo-grants@state.gov. The narrative proposal should include:

 * a) Project basics, including working title, anticipated project length (in
   months), location/site, and project cost estimate (amount requested from
   AFCP; in U.S. dollars).
 * b) Project implementer information, including name and SAM registration
   status;
 * c) Project Scope of Work summarizing the preservation goals and any broader
   host country or community goals (i.e., what you hope to gain from the project
   beyond the preserved heritage and how you plan to get there; 3,000 characters
   maximum).
 * d) Five (5) high quality digital images (JPEGs) or audiovisual files that
   convey the nature and condition of the site, collection, or tradition and
   show the urgency or need for the proposed project (collapsing walls, water
   damage, etc.).

What are the deadlines?

The multi-stage application process begins with your initial submission of the
above to the U.S. Embassy Paramaribo, with a deadline of noon on December 1,
2022.

If selected for further consideration by the panel of experts in Washington,
D.C., applicants will be asked to submit more detailed information by mid-March
2023.

Note on SAM Registration

If chosen to compete in the final round of proposal evaluation, an implementing
partner must be registered in the U.S. government’s System for Award Management
(SAM) prior to receiving U.S, federal assistance unless they meet one of the
exemptions specified in the Federal Assistance Directive.

The SAM registration process, which requires either a Commercial and Government
Entity (CAGE) or a NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) code, can take
weeks or months, especially for non-U.S. applicants.

Non-U.S. based applicants may request a NCAGE code at
https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx.

SAM will assign a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) automatically to any entity
registering or renewing its record in the system. Registration in SAM is free:
https://sam.gov/.

Disclaimer: Issuance of this funding opportunity does not constitute an award
commitment on the part of the AFCP program or the U.S. government. The Center
reserves the right to waive program formalities and to reduce, revise, or
increase project scopes and budgets in accordance with the needs of the program
and the availability of funds.
