FY2024 U.S. Ambassador Fund for Cultural Preservation Grants Program
The Department of State established the AFCP at the request of Congress in Conference Report 106-1005 accompanying H.R.
4942 (October 26, 2000).
The Senate report on this bill noted that the preservation of cultural heritage “offers an opportunity to show a different American face to other countries, one that is non-commercial, non-political, and non-military.” The AFCP Program supports the preservation of publicly accessible archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, museum collections that are accessible to the public and forms of traditional cultural expression, such as indigenous languages and crafts.Appropriate project activities may include:
· Anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts)· Conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to an object or site)· Consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of an object or site)· Documentation (recording in analog or digital format the condition and salient features of an object, site, or tradition)· Inventory (listing of objects, sites, or traditions by location, feature, age, or other unifying characteristic or state)· Preventive Conservation (addressing conditions that threaten or damage a site, object, collection, or tradition)· 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)· Stabilization (reducing the physical disturbance of an object or site) While we will accept submissions from all eligible sources (described below), in the 2024 competition special consideration will be given to projects from and related to the collections and capacity of museums.
This reflects the U. S. Mission to Indonesia’s commitment to both aiding the restoration of the National Museum and its collections following the September 2023 fire, but also its ongoing efforts to partner with Indonesia enhance the capacity of its museums across the country.
