Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PDS FY25 AFCP
The Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Uganda 2025 opportunity is a U.S. Department of State-supported grant program announced by the U.S. Mission Uganda Public Affairs Section to help preserve cultural heritage in Uganda. The program is backed by the Cultural Heritage Center within the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and it funds projects that protect, conserve, or safeguard significant cultural heritage resources. In practical terms, the strongest proposals are those that clearly explain what part of Uganda's cultural heritage is at risk, why it matters, and how the project will produce real, lasting preservation outcomes for communities and institutions in Uganda.
Funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 19.025, with awards ranging from USD 10,000 up to USD 500,000. While the Uganda call is country-specific, the AFCP competition is global, and the Cultural Heritage Center expects to support roughly 20 to 30 projects worldwide during this cycle. The notice indicates an award ceiling of USD 500,000 and an expected number of awards listed as 1 in the source data, which is worth keeping in mind when thinking about competitiveness and the importance of a well-scoped concept.
The application process has two stages. Round One requires a concept note of no more than three pages, focused on the core idea, the heritage to be preserved, and an initial plan for implementation. Concept notes must be submitted by January 10, 2025, at 5:00 pm GMT+3 to KampalaGrants@state.gov. Applicants whose concepts are selected will then be invited to submit a full project application in Round Two, with materials due by April 17, 2025. This two-step approach means the first submission needs to be clear and compelling enough to earn an invitation, but also realistic and detailed enough to show that the project can be executed effectively if advanced to the full proposal stage.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations, both Ugandan and international, as long as they fit the categories listed in the announcement. These include foreign institutions of higher education, foreign-based NGOs, foreign public entities where permitted, public international organizations and governmental institutions, U.S. institutions of higher education, and U.S. nonprofit organizations that are registered under IRS section 501(c)(3). The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Mission to Uganda, and applicants can review background examples of previous AFCP efforts through the U.S. Embassy in Uganda's information on the history of AFCP projects in Uganda, which can help teams align their project approach with the program's preservation-focused goals and expectations.Apply for DOS PDS FY25 AFCP
