The U.S. Mission in Turkey launched Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation

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. 

The application process involves two rounds: In Round 1, the U.S. Mission in Turkey will collect project ideas in the form of concept notes to be submitted to the Cultural Heritage Center after an initial evaluation. In Round 2, the Center will invite embassies with promising ideas to submit full project applications. Awards will range from $10,000 to $500,000. The Cultural Heritage Center anticipates funding globally 20 to 30 projects.
