National Archives run an annual programme of Engagement Grants to connect archives with their communities and the wider public, often aligning with key moments of national importance.
For the current round, they would like applications to the Engagement Grant scheme to address the theme of ‘Community’ by proposing projects that either reach out to new audiences or connect with old audiences in new ways. You might be inspired by the national commemorations for VE and VJ Day in 2025 – or by something completely different. They simply want to support engagement with archives that is meaningful for you, your place and your communities.
Grants up to £3,000 are available and the programme is open to all public sector bodies, not-for-profit organisations including registered charities, and for-profit organisations including business archives in England and Wales.
