Program
Overview
The Conservation Project Support program awards grants
to help museums identify conservation needs and priorities
and perform activities to ensure the safekeeping of
their collections.
Conservation Project Support grants help
museums develop and implement a logical, institution-wide
approach to caring for their living and material collections.
Applicants should apply for the project that meets one
of the institution’s highest conservation needs.
All applications must demonstrate that the primary goal
of the project is conservation care and not collection
management or maintenance.
Grants are available for many types of
conservation activities, including surveys (general,
detailed condition, or environmental); training; research;
treatment; and environmental improvements.
Applicants may receive up to $10,000
in additional project funding to develop an Education
Component that directly relates to their project.
