The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Embassy Jakarta Public Affairs Section, has announced a funding opportunity for the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Large Grants Program, with an estimated total funding of $2.8 million available worldwide. Organizations are invited to apply for grants ranging from $200,000 to $800,000 to undertake projects preserving Indonesia's cultural heritage, including ancient sites, historic buildings, and museum collections. Eligible applicants include foreign and U.S. non-profit organizations and educational institutions, provided they demonstrate capacity and local partnership support for cultural preservation efforts. The application process involves submitting detailed proposals, including project plans, budgets, and supporting documents by the deadline of November 15, 2020. The grant period ranges from 12 to 60 months, with a projected start date in September 2021. Certain activities, such as preserving privately owned objects and archaeological excavations, are not supported by this program. Evaluations will focus on the project's purpose, urgency, management capability, public awareness efforts, and detailed budgeting. This initiative reflects the U.S. government's commitment to promoting cultural understanding through heritage preservation.
