2020 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation Small Grants
The U.
S.
Embassy in Amman is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the 2020 Small Grants Competition of the U.
S.
Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) .
Program Objectives:
The Department of State established the AFCP in 2000 at the request
of Congress (Conference Report 106-1005 accompanying H.R.
4942).
At the time, the Senate 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 projects recommended for funding advance U.
S.
foreign policy goals and show American respect for cultural heritage.
Cultural preservation is effective public diplomacy that resonates deeply with opinion leaders and local communities, even in countries where ties may be otherwise limited.
AFCP projects strengthen civil society, encourage good governance, and promote political and economic stability around the world.

This may include non-governmental organizations, museums, ministries of culture, or similar institutions and organizations, including U.S.-based organizations subject to Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code.
Embassies must vet applicants for eligibility, suitability, and reputable performance in cultural preservation or similar activities and ensure that the applicants are able to receive U. S. federal assistance.
