Synopsis
The U.S. Mission to Nigeria is accepting proposals from eligible organizations for project funding through the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) for fiscal year 2025.
Established in 2001 at the request of the Congress, the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Grants Program supports U.S. foreign policy and public diplomacy (PD) goals and are highly valued by local leaders and communities. AFCP supports the preservation of historic buildings, archaeological sites, manuscripts, museum collections, and traditional cultural expressions, including indigenous languages and crafts, in Nigeria.
