The U.S. Mission is now accepting concepts of not more than 3 pages for the first round of the 2025 Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation competition. Successful concepts should identify projects that assist the people of Uganda in preserving their cultural heritage. Awards will range from $10,000 to $500,000. The Center anticipates funding 20 to 30 projects worldwide in this year’s competition. The application process involves two rounds. Interested applicants should submit concept notes for Round One by January 10, 2025, at 5pm GMT+3 to
