The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has announced a call for proposals for the 2019 U.S. Ambassadors Funds for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Large Grants Program.
The Program aims to preserve major ancient archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, and major museum collections that are accessible to the public and protected by law in Ukraine.
Funding Areas
The program supports the preservation of significant cultural and historic sites that are globally or nationally significant, accessible to the public and protected by law. The types of sites include major archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments and major museum collections, which possess exceptional value in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the host country or the surrounding region. Appropriate project activities may include:
- preventive conservation (addressing conditions that damage or threaten the site)

- conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to a collection or sites)
- consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of a site)
- anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts)
- restoration (replacing missing elements to recreate the original appearance of a site, usually appropriate only with fine arts, decorative arts, and historic buildings).
