Grant News
The John Ellerman Foundation is inviting applications for its Museums and Galleries Fund, which aims to strengthen regional museums and galleries in the UK.
A total of £520,000 of funding will be available for applications which:
- enable new ways of working both for established curators and those just starting out
- ensure organisations can safeguard and advance curatorial skills through a time of development or change
The Foundation expects to award five or six grants of around £90,000 for periods of two to three years, but will consider higher amounts for exceptional projects.
Applications will be accepted for a wide variety of collection types, including:
- visual and decorative arts
- social history and anthropology
- science and technology
- industrial
- natural history
Applications from organisations with an income between £100,000 and £10 million will be given priority, but larger institutions may be funded if uniquely placed to meet the Fund’s aims.
There is a two-stage application process.
The closing date for first stage applications is the 6th January 2025.
The Foundation expects to make first-stage decisions inSpring 2025, with notifications being sent out confirming their decisions in late February. Final decisions will likely be made by the end of May 2025.
