Volunteer Museum Grant Program - Small Grants - 2023

Small Grants aim to meet the short-term, collection-based requirements of community museums and Aboriginal cultural spaces. There are no set categories for funding, and applications for a broad range of projects will be considered.

Previous Small Grants have funded the purchase of computer cataloguing software, exhibition mannequins and display cases, oral history recording equipment and archival storage items.

Small Grants are open to museums and Aboriginal cultural spaces (with object collections and displays) with up to two full time paid staff members (no more than 70 hours of paid staffing per week) as well as museum networks such as AMaGA Chapters.

There are two rounds for 2023:

• Applications for Round 1 must be submitted on or before Sunday, 2 April 2023. Projects cannot commence before June 2023 and must be completed no later than 31 December 2023. Acquittal reports are due by 31 January 2024.
• Applications for Round 2 must be submitted on or before Sunday, 10 September 2023. Projects cannot commence before December 2023 and must be completed no later than 27 June 2024. Acquittal reports are due by 31 July 2024.
