Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PTA AFCPL20
The AFCP Large Grants Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered through the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to South Africa (specifically the Embassy Public Affairs Section in South Africa). It invites eligible organizations in South Africa and the United States to submit project abstracts for funding under the Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP). The focus of the program is cultural heritage preservation, and applicants are expected to follow the detailed requirements laid out in the full announcement referenced in the related documents.
The program is designed to support the preservation of significant cultural heritage assets, especially large-scale or high-importance projects. Priority areas include major ancient archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, and major museum collections. A key requirement is that the heritage resources supported by the grant must be accessible to the public and legally protected in the host country, reinforcing that projects should serve public benefit and align with established legal and conservation frameworks rather than private or purely commercial interests.
Eligibility is broad but still targeted to mission-aligned institutions. It includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations, including those with and without U.S. 501(c)(3) status (as long as they otherwise meet the eligibility requirements described in the full notice). The announcement also indicates that public international organizations may apply, and it references an "Others" category where additional eligibility details are clarified in the full text of the opportunity.
In terms of funding size and competition, the listed award ceiling is up to $800,000, and the opportunity anticipated making one award. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the program is associated with CFDA number 19.025. Applicants are instructed to submit their applications by email to PretoriaGrants@state.gov, and they are directed to consult the AFCP program information on the U.S. Department of State Cultural Heritage Center website for broader background on AFCP priorities and expectations. The opportunity record shows it was created on October 28, 2019, with an original closing date of December 1, 2019, which is important for anyone using the notice as a reference point, since current cycles and deadlines may differ from the historical posting.Apply for DOS PTA AFCPL20
