In Round 2, we will invite applicants with promising ideas to submit full project applications. The deadline for Round 2 submissions will be March 20, 2025. AFCP supports preservation projects in the following categories, pending available funding. A priority focus area for the 2025 cycle will be on proposals that contribute to the preservation of intangible heritage of ethnic Armenians displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh. 1. A CULTURAL SITE OR SITES - Conservation of an ancient or historic building, preservation of an archaeological site, or documentation of cultural sites in a region for preservation purposes. 2. AN OBJECT OR COLLECTION OF OBJECTS - Conservation treatment for an object or collection of objects; needs assessment of a collection with respect to its condition and strategies for improving its state of conservation; inventory of a collection for conservation and protection purposes; the creation of safe environments for storage or display of collections; or specialized training in the care and preservation of collections. 3. INTANGIBLE FORMS OF TRADITIONAL CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPRESSION - Preservation may include documentation and audiovisual recordings of oral histories, language, traditional music and dance, traditional art, culinary, and rituals, etc., for broad dissemination as a means of teaching and further preserving them, or support for training in the preservation of traditional applied arts or crafts in danger of extinction.
