We are independent and not-for-profit and we advocate for museums across the UK.
We gratefully receive funding support for our work from the following organisations:
Digital Innovation and Engagement Fund
We have partnered with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and creative design agency The Liminal Space to offer a £600,000 Digital Innovation and Engagement Fund for museums.
Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
We have longstanding relationship with the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, which has supported our collections work for over a decade. In particular we award the Esmée Fairbairn Communities and Collections Fund on behalf of the foundation to projects that demonstrate the significance, distinctiveness and power of collections to people. The fund has awarded over £10m to 145 projects since it launched in 2011.
Julia Rausing Trust
The Julia Rausing Trust supports the Health and Wellbeing in Museums Fund, our programme of grant-making, networking and learning dissemination for health and wellbeing programmes in museums. Grants enable the development and continuation of groundbreaking programmes in UK museums during a time of financial crisis and increasing demand for services.
