These new grants aim to help museums, galleries and cultural organisations respond to immediate challenges connected to the Covid-19 crisis, and offer support to adapt and reimagine ways of working for the future.
Respond and reimagine grants provide funding to help museums, galleries and cultural organisations respond to immediate challenges connected to the Covid-19 crisis, and offer support to adapt and reimagine ways of working for the longer-term future.
This programme has been developed in response to a sector consultation which identified priority areas for support: Audiences, Collections, Digital and Workforce.
These grants can provide practical support to fund what you need now. This could relate to costs connected to re-opening, such as staffing, equipment or training, or planning for future activities.
UK public museums, galleries, historic houses, libraries and archives can apply that:
ordinarily have spaces for the public to visit and experience the visual arts or other object-based collections. This could include natural history, maritime and transport, archaeology and social history
can demonstrate that you usually operate to best practice standards or have a good track record in delivering high quality public activity
