Partnership Grants for Capacity Building
This article originally appeared on the MANY website.
The Museum Association of New York in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts will award $500,000 in capacity building grants to non-profit museums located in New York State. 100 grants of $5,000 will be awarded. As this partnership grant program was developed to reach museums not already funded by NYSCA, priority will be given to museums that did not receive NYSCA organizational support funding for FY 2022. Those who did receive Restart NY and/or Recovery Grants, but not organizational support are eligible.
Grants will be made to:
- Respond to pandemic challenges
- Build financial stability
- Strengthen board engagement
- Grow community engagement
- Update technology
- Change internal systems to address equity, diversity, access, inclusion, and justice
Grant projects cannot begin before June 15, 2022 and must conclude by June 15, 2023.
If a museum is interested in a project that does not fit into the above capacity building categories, please reach out to MANY staff to discuss if the project is the right fit for this funding opportunity. Read more...
