Volunteer Museum Grants

From 2026, the Volunteer Museum Grants will be delivered as a single, consolidated program. The former Small Grants, Skills Development, Leg Up, and Project Development Grants have been brought together, allowing organisations to apply for funding of up to $4,000 per project.

The program supports a wide range of projects. There are no fixed categories, and applications are welcomed for diverse initiatives, including:

• Skills development and networking activities, such as engaging a professional consultant to deliver one-off or short workshop programs
• Strategic or innovative projects with medium- to long-term outcomes, including strategic planning, exhibition development, or professional advice
• Short-term, collection-focused projects, such as conservation of significant objects, collection management, or audience development
