## What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy in North Macedonia and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announce an open competition for organizations to submit applications for funding through the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) to carry out an individual project to preserve cultural heritage in a specific priority country. Issuance of this funding opportunity does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the U.S. government. Full implementation of this program is subject to the availability of funds. Please follow all instructions below. Program Objectives: 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 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: · 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) B.
