For proposals to receive consideration, applicants must submit all materials to AFCP@state.gov. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State (the Bureau) and the U.S. Embassy to Ukraine announce an open competition for organizations to submit proposals for funding through the Bureau’s U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation – Ukraine Response (AFCP-UR) to carry out urgent projects to preserve and protect cultural heritage in Ukraine impacted by Russia’s unjust and unprovoked war of aggression. The overall intent of this program is to safeguard prominent examples of Ukraine’s cultural heritage. It will support the following activities: Assessment and documentation of risk and damage to cultural heritage sites, objects, and collections. Protection of cultural heritage sites, objects, and collections from theft, damage, or further damage. Stabilization or temporary repair of damaged cultural heritage sites, objects, and collections. Recovery or conservation of cultural heritage objects and collections as conditions allow. Recovery, restoration, or reconstruction of damaged cultural heritage sites as conditions allow. AFCP-UR will support projects in the following two categories: 1) Site-Specific Projects, and 2) Regional Assessment and Rapid Response Projects. Eligible applicants may submit multiple applications and may apply to one or both project categories. Site-Specific Projects: For these projects, an applicant shall carry out protection and stabilization activities at a specific site or for a specific collection. It is expected that an initial damage assessment has already been conducted and can form the basis of a project proposal. Regional Assessment and Rapid Repair Projects: For these projects, an applicant shall identify a geographic area in Ukraine, conduct risk and damage assessments in that area, and prioritize and implement response and recovery activities. Refer to the Application Instructions (PDF) under Related Documents for additional information on eligible activities, and application submission details.
