The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has made an extra £6m available for activities relating to the centenary of the outbreak of the first world war.
This small-grants programme will run for six years from 2013 and follows the £9m that the HLF has already earmarked for first world war heritage projects.
The £6m programme will award £1m a year in grants of between £3,000 and £10,000. The projects are for activities involving people between the ages of 11 and 25. Museums can still apply for funds of any scale from the HLF’s £9m programme.
Meanwhile, the Museums Association (MA) is accepting applications for the next round of funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund, which offers grants of £20,000-£100,000 to museums, galleries and heritage organisations proposing time-limited collections work outside the scope of their core resources.
The fund, which builds on the MA’s Effective Collections programme, awards about £800,000 a year in two grant rounds. The next deadline for applications is 5 April 2013.
In Scotland, the £500,000 Digital R&D Fund for Arts and Culture in Scotland has opened its second round of applications. The fund aims to help cultural organisations use digital technology to reach wider audiences and develop new ways of working.
Applications are invited from all sizes of arts and cultural organisations. The deadline is 1 February 2013.
The fund is a partnership between Creative Scotland, the Arts & Humanities Research Council and Nesta.
