The document outlines the ineligible activities and unallowable costs for the American Folk Culture Preservation (AFCP) funding program. It specifies a comprehensive list of activities that cannot receive support from the AFCP, such as the preservation or purchase of privately owned cultural objects, natural heritage preservation without cultural connections, preservation of human remains, and historical research unless integral to a project. Additionally, it prohibits costs related to individual projects below $10,000 or above $500,000, and international travel unless justified. The intention of these restrictions is to ensure that AFCP funds are directed toward activities that align with cultural preservation goals rather than commercial or unrelated endeavors. The guidelines emphasize the program's focus on effective and meaningful conservation efforts while outlining the boundaries for eligible funding requests.
