Opportunity Information: Apply for 2018AFCPJA
The 2018 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Large Grants Program, offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Jamaica, invited organizations to apply for grant funding to support cultural preservation work in Jamaica. The opportunity was administered by the U.S. Embassy in Kingston through its Public Affairs Section, and it focused on projects that align with AFCP policies and that applicants can realistically develop and carry out on the ground in Jamaica. The program was posted as a discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 19.025, with an emphasis on preservation-related activities falling under an "Other" funding activity category as further explained in the official notice.
The application process used a two-stage submission structure. First, applicants were required to submit a project abstract by Sunday, December 31, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Only those abstracts that received a favorable review were then invited to proceed to round two, which required a full proposal submission by Friday, March 2, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. This structure meant organizations had to present a strong initial concept early, then expand it into a complete project plan only if selected to move forward.
Funding levels were substantial for a preservation program. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity was $979,000, and the program anticipated making around 10 awards. While the notice does not spell out minimum award amounts in the excerpt provided, the "Large Grants" framing and the high ceiling indicate the intent to support significant, well-scoped preservation efforts rather than small, one-off activities.
Eligibility was limited and clearly defined. Individuals were not eligible to receive awards, and neither were commercial entities. The program also excluded past AFCP award recipients who had not met the objectives or reporting requirements of earlier AFCP grants, signaling that compliance history and accountability were important factors in determining who could compete. In addition, the opportunity required applicants to have both a DUNS number and an active SAM (System for Award Management) registration in place before submitting an application. Proposals missing either of these registrations at the time of submission would not be considered, making basic federal registration readiness a strict gatekeeping requirement.
Overall, this grant opportunity was designed for qualified organizations capable of managing U.S. government-funded projects and implementing cultural preservation activities in Jamaica, with a structured, competitive review process and firm administrative requirements. It combined relatively high potential funding with strict eligibility and compliance standards, prioritizing applicants who could demonstrate both a viable preservation project concept and the operational capacity to deliver results and meet U.S. government reporting expectations.Apply for 2018AFCPJA
