Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS CMR FY20 01
The 2020 U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Small Grants opportunity in Cameroon is a competitive funding program run by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Cameroon. It invites organizations to propose and carry out one focused project that protects and preserves Cameroon's cultural heritage. While the U.S. Embassy is soliciting proposals through an open competition, the announcement itself is not a promise of funding, and any eventual award depends on the availability of AFCP program funds.
The program is national in scope and treats all regions of Cameroon equally, meaning proposals can come from anywhere in the country and no geographic area is given preference. The overall aim is to support practical, preservation-oriented work that safeguards tangible heritage (like historic places and museum objects) as well as intangible heritage (like living traditions and cultural knowledge that can be documented and transmitted).
AFCP small grants are intended to support projects in three main categories. For cultural sites, the grant can support activities such as conserving an ancient or historic building, preserving an archaeological site, or documenting cultural sites within a particular region when documentation is necessary to enable protection and long-term preservation. For cultural objects and collections, supported work can include hands-on conservation treatment of museum or institutional collections, including (but not limited to) archaeological and ethnographic materials, paintings, sculpture, manuscripts, and other items needing professional conservation. The opportunity also allows for collection-focused capacity improvements, such as conducting needs assessments that evaluate the condition of collections and recommend strategies to improve preservation; creating or improving inventories to strengthen conservation planning and protection; establishing safer environments for storage or exhibition; and providing specialized training aimed at improving the care and preservation of collections. For forms of traditional cultural expression, eligible activities include documenting and making audiovisual recordings of traditional music, indigenous languages, and dance forms so they can be shared widely and used for teaching and continued practice, as well as supporting training that helps preserve traditional applied arts or crafts that are at risk of disappearing.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 19.025, with funding issued via either a grant or a cooperative agreement. The funding opportunity number is PAS CMR FY20 01. The maximum potential award amount (the award ceiling) is up to $200,000, and the Embassy anticipated making one award under this competition. The opportunity was created on October 28, 2019, with an original application deadline of December 5, 2019.
Eligible applicants, as described in the listing, include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with U.S. 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status), and other eligible entities as further clarified in the program's additional eligibility guidance. In practical terms, the competition is geared toward institutions and organizations capable of planning and managing a defined cultural preservation project, demonstrating clear preservation outcomes, and carrying out the work in a way that improves the protection, documentation, or long-term stewardship of Cameroon's cultural heritage.Apply for PAS CMR FY20 01
