Opportunity Information: Apply for CB600 18 PAS 004
The Ambassadors for Cultural Preservation Small Grants Program is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity offered through the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. For the FY 2018 round, the program invited proposals to protect and preserve cultural heritage in Cambodia, focusing on cultural sites and objects that carry historical or cultural importance to the country. Individual awards were intended to be substantive but targeted, with funding requests ranging from a minimum of USD 10,000 to a maximum of USD 200,000 per project. The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number CB600 18 PAS 004, categorized as a discretionary grant, with an original application deadline of January 5, 2018, and the program anticipated making one award.
At its core, the program is part of the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP), a long-running initiative created to help partner countries preserve their cultural heritage while reinforcing U.S. diplomatic relationships and public diplomacy goals. In Cambodia, the grant is positioned not only as preservation support but also as a way to demonstrate U.S. respect for Cambodian culture and history. Projects are expected to align with AFCP program guidelines and follow recognized international standards for cultural heritage preservation, meaning proposals should reflect professional conservation ethics and appropriate technical methods rather than ad hoc repairs or purely promotional activities.
The grant supports three broad types of projects. First, for cultural sites, funding may cover conservation of ancient or historic buildings, preservation of archaeological sites, and systematic documentation of cultural sites across a region when documentation is necessary for future protection and preservation. Second, for cultural objects and collections, eligible work includes direct conservation treatment of important objects or collections, conducting needs assessments to evaluate collection condition and develop practical conservation strategies, creating inventories to improve protection and accountability, improving storage or exhibition environments to reduce deterioration and risk, and specialized training that strengthens local capacity to care for collections over the long term. Third, for forms of traditional cultural expression, funding can support documentation and audiovisual recording of traditional music and dance for dissemination and teaching, as well as training and transmission efforts aimed at preserving applied arts or crafts that are at risk of disappearing.
For the FY 2018 competition specifically, proposals received extra consideration if they clearly advanced at least one of four stated priority areas. Those priorities included projects that help meet U.S. treaty commitments or bilateral cultural property protection obligations, initiatives that reduce disaster risk to cultural heritage in earthquake-prone or otherwise disaster-vulnerable areas, efforts that support post-disaster cultural heritage recovery, and preservation work focused on UNESCO-inscribed World Heritage sites. In practical terms, the program was looking for proposals that combine cultural significance with strong preservation methodology and, where possible, an added layer of urgency or broader public benefit tied to risk reduction, recovery, or internationally recognized heritage value.Apply for CB600 18 PAS 004
