Funding Available to Help Museums & Galleries to Sustain their Collections (UK)

Applications are now being accepted through the John Ellerman Foundation Museums and Galleries Fund. The fund aims to strengthen regional museums and galleries in the UK.

A total of £550,000 of funding is available for applications that enable new ways of working both for established curators and those just starting out; and 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, archaeology, and social and natural history collections.

The deadline for stage one applications is 5pm on the 9 January 2023.

There will also be a series of one-hour question and answer sessions on Zoom, where queries will be responded to from applicants.
