Small Development Grant Scheme 2018-22 is open

Small Development Grant Scheme 2018-22

Does your museum have a project which just needs that small amount of money to:

  • turn a great idea into reality to move the museum forward and better care for its collections
  • provide better experiences for your visitors and users
  • develop new fundraising ideas
  • attend training courses
  • implement recommendations made by MDY or
  • address areas for improvement for Accreditation?

If so, why not submit an application for a Museum Development Yorkshire small grant?

The Museum Development Yorkshire Small Grants Fund can provide funding for a variety of projects in your museum. Our Small Development Grant Scheme assists museums to implement advice, test new ways of working and make good things happen. It also supports personnel to attend training courses and conferences.

The amount awarded is up to £3,000 per project with a sliding scale of match funding required. The fund for this financial year is now live and available on an open application basis, with assessments made on a monthly basis. All monies must be spent and claimed by the end of the financial year.

If you need any further advice please contact your local Museum Development Officer who will be pleased to comment on potential projects for funding and assist with any queries on the paperwork.
