Summary

Unlock transformative funding opportunities that empower cultural heritage and educational institutions across the United States and Canada. Offering substantial support ranging from $10,000 to $60,000, these grants are designed to enhance access to historical audio, audiovisual, and time-based media.


Nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and government entities dedicated to preserving cultural assets can apply, ensuring that underrepresented histories are brought to light through digital reformatting and innovative preservation techniques.


Targeting projects that confront issues of degradation and obsolescence, funding is directed toward initiatives that promise sustainable access to rare collections. This is an exceptional opportunity to secure resources that not only preserve media of significant public value but also foster collaboration among libraries, archives, and cultural heritage organizations.


Your project could become part of a broader mission to provide enhanced understanding of diverse cultural narratives.


In addition to preservation efforts, there’s a call for proposals inviting authors and teams to contribute scholarly reports relevant to the information and cultural heritage sectors. This initiative welcomes global submissions, offering each selected author or team a stipend of $3,000, ensuring that innovative ideas can take shape and benefit communities worldwide.


For those focused on amplifying unheard voices, another compelling program supports the digitization of rare collections that reflect marginalized histories. By securing funding through this initiative, eligible nonprofit collecting organizations can significantly enrich public access to these vital narratives.


With application processes designed to be accessible, now is the time to explore these valuable funding opportunities that promise to make a lasting impact on cultural preservation and educational outreach. The potential to transform communities and deepen understanding of our collective past awaits your proposal.
