Program objective
The Volunteer Museum Grant Program provides assistance to volunteer-initiated community and Aboriginal cultural spaces (such as cultural centres and Keeping Places) with collections and displays in NSW. This is a Create NSW devolved funding program, administered by Museums & Galleries of NSW (M&G NSW) on behalf of the NSW Government. The program provides access to funding for collection-focused projects as well as skill development activities.
Skills Development Grants can be applied for at any time throughout the year, until the cut-off date of the 27 October 2024, or all funds are expended. Skills Development Grant applications must be received by M&G NSW at least 6 weeks before the activity/event (e.g. conference, workshop, seminar) is scheduled to take place. Activities funded by 2024 Skills Development Grants must take place between March 2024 and January 2025. Acquittals are due two months after the activity.
Applicants must contact M&G NSW to discuss your project. Staff are available to provide advice on writing grant applications, developing a project, budgeting and sourcing appropriate consultants. First-time applicants and those unfamiliar with grant-writing are encouraged to get in contact for detailed and ongoing assistance.
