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(a)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
