What the grant funds

The U.S. Mission Uganda Public Affairs Section is pleased to announce the start of the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) 2025 Grants Program. The United States Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) seeks to preserve cultural heritage in eligible countries, including Uganda, supported by the Cultural Heritage Center (“the Center”) in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the Department of State. The U.S. Mission is now accepting concepts of not more than 3 pages for the first round of the 2025 Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation competition. Successful concepts should identify projects that assist the people of Uganda in preserving their cultural heritage. Awards will range from $10,000 to $500,000. The Center anticipates funding 20 to 30 projects worldwide in this year’s competition. The application process involves two rounds. Interested applicants should submit concept notes for Round One by January 10, 2025, at 5pm GMT+3 to KampalaGrants@state.gov. Selected applicants will be invited to submit full project applications for Round Two, by April 17, 2025.
