One of the key ways we support and develop the non-national Scottish Museums sector is through our Grants Programme. We want to invest in projects and initiatives that align with our vision and strategies.
What is our grant policy?
Our vision for a welcoming museums and galleries sector that opens doors and celebrates collections, inspiring creativity, learning and enjoyment for all, sits at the heart of our grant giving policy.
