Hi everyone,
I wanted to share information about this grant opportunity for small museums, with thanks to Janice Klein for bringing it to my attention.
A CSA Small Museum Collection Care Grant of $1,500 is intended to assist the costume and textiles collection of a small museum (including historical societies, historic houses or sites, and other similar institutions) that has a very limited budget and staff. Funding may be used to support the care, conservation, and/or exhibition of costume and textiles that have historic, regional, or other significance and are intended for preservation.
First awarded in 2003, one or more Small Museum Collection Care Grants are awarded annually. These grants may be used for appropriate supplies or display items, the services of a consultant or specialist, or other projects that relate directly to the institution's costume collection and foster the care or use of the collection at a level appropriate to the particular collection's most pressing needs. This grant does not permit an "overhead" or "operational cut" that many colleges and universities typically take from grant funds they receive.
Deadline: October 15, 2022.
