Engagement Grants are open to archivists and heritage professionals working with archival collections in England or Wales.
Public sector bodies, not-for-profit organisations including registered charities, and for-profit organisations including business archives can apply now for grants of up to £3,000 to conduct outreach and engagement projects, that will connect archives with their communities in places across England and Wales.
This year's theme is 'Community'. Projects can either reach out to new audiences or connect with old audiences in new ways.
Inspiration may come from the national commemorations for VE and VJ Day in 2025 - or by something completely different. The funding is to support engagement with archives that is meaningful for the applicant, their place and their communities.
The grants can be used for a range of costs, including but not limited to:
- Exhibitions, events, online or digital engagement
- Materials
- Staff time, travel and subsistence
- Materials or software as needed to deliver the project.
The deadline for applications is 17 January 2025 (17:00).
