Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAKAB 23 GR 007 SCA 06022023
The U.S. Department of State, through the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Mission to Afghanistan, announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Preserving Afghanistan's Diverse Cultural Heritage" (Funding Opportunity Number: SCAKAB 23 GR 007 SCA 06022023). The program is set up as an open competition for eligible organizations, with the goal of supporting a single project that helps safeguard Afghanistan's cultural heritage while also highlighting cultural traditions that are shared across communities, regardless of language or ethnic identity. In practice, the emphasis is not only on protecting heritage itself, but also on using heritage as a unifying civic resource that can resonate with a wide cross-section of Afghanistan's diverse population.
The opportunity invites proposals focused on preserving either intangible or tangible cultural heritage. Intangible heritage examples mentioned include traditional crafts, musical traditions, and literary traditions, all of which can be at risk when transmission between generations is disrupted. Tangible heritage examples include conservation and restoration efforts tied to physical cultural resources such as monuments, historical sites, and artifacts. Applicants are encouraged to design projects that select traditions or heritage assets recognized broadly across Afghanistan, rather than initiatives that serve only narrow audiences, so that the work supports a sense of shared cultural patrimony.
A core expectation of the grant is that the proposed project will do more than technical preservation work. It should also raise public awareness about Afghanistan's rich cultural diversity and the idea that this diversity is part of the country's unique national heritage. The program description specifically links cultural heritage protection to civic responsibility, encouraging communities to value inclusive, unified societies that respect diversity and protect the rights of all citizens. In other words, the project should combine preservation activities with outreach, education, or public engagement that helps people understand why cultural heritage matters and why it deserves protection across community lines.
Administratively, the award is structured as a grant, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $350,000. The agency anticipated making one award under this announcement. The opportunity falls under CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.501 and is categorized under "Other" for funding activity (with further clarification referenced in the full announcement). The posting was created on June 2, 2023, with an original application deadline of July 3, 2023. Eligible applicants are listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details provided in the full notice, indicating that applicants would need to consult the complete announcement for precise organizational eligibility requirements and any restrictions.Apply for SCAKAB 23 GR 007 SCA 06022023
