FY21 Cultural Property Agreement Implementation Grants

Administered through the U.S. Cultural Antiquities Task Force, Cultural Property Agreement Implementation Grants support projects that contribute to the implementation of provisions in emergency determinations or cultural property agreements between the United States and foreign governments. This competition is organized through U.S. embassies in countries with which the United States has a signed bilateral cultural property agreement or where emergency import restrictions on archaeological and ethnological material are in effect under the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq). Applications for projects that foster cooperation, build best practices, and engage communities through the following types of activities will be considered: training, inventories, site security and protection, public education and outreach for crime prevention, and supporting sustainable livelihoods.
