Would you like up to £3,000 to support a project?

The Small Grant Scheme is part of the West Midlands Museum Development Programme (WMMD), funded by Arts Council England (ACE) and underpinned by ACE’s 10 year strategic framework ‘Great Arts and Culture for Everyone’.

The Small Grant Scheme supports projects to help museums in the West Midlands increase access to and engagement with their collections.

Grants will support museums who demonstrate how they use their collections and planning to reflect the diversity of their current and potential audiences. They need to show evidence of how the ‘Creative Case for Diversity’ is at the heart of everything they do, from consulting with diverse and underrepresented groups to diversifying their programmes, collections and exhibitions.

All projects should show how they seek to develop and respond to audience development opportunities; improving the services on offer, strengthening sustainability, building resilience and creating new conversations and activity around collections.

Please read the guidance and contact your Museum Development Officer before completing the application form (pdf version available on request).

Applications must be submitted by: 9am, Monday 11 March

Successful applicants notified: w/c Monday 25 March
