Hi Carolina, The team of Wiki Loves Monuments international is a group of volunteers, it seems unlikely that we could be the kind of non-profit international institution or organization the embassy asks for. As Ciell wrote the Wikimedia Brazil User Group might be interested to help. I could not find out if Wikimedia Deutschland may be interested, but you could write to community@wikimedia.de and should get directed to the right person then.
Kind regards, Manfred

Hi everyone,
I am a Brazilian monument conservator, who lives in Germany. Recently I joined Wikimedia and as a member of the Project Let's go digital, Beuron Art https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:F%C3%B6rderung/Let%27s_go_digital,_Beuron_Art, I am photographing German murals outside Germany and writing new articles about Churches with this style of mural painting.
I identified that in Rio de Janeiro there is a chapel with extremely rare frescoes in this style, which is abandoned and in need of restoration. It so happens that the *US Embassy in Brazil* has a call for funding https://br.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/grants-corner/call-for-proposals-for-the-afcp/ for restoration projects. At the request of the chapel owner, I wrote a pro bono project to submit for this funding. :)
However, a *non-profit* *international institution* or *organization* is required to be the *legal candidate* for this project at the *US embassy *in Brazil*.* *No financial assistance is required,* but support from a non-profit institution. Can anyone with experience in this area suggest any institutions? Could Wikimedia Deutschland e.V through WikiLovesMonuments support us?
Best Regards, Carolina Bayer
