GrantID: 75149
Grant Funding Amount Low: $1,500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $3,000
Summary
The opportunity offers several grant programs ranging from $1,500 up to $3,000, intended to support individuals and institutions involved in the study, preservation, exhibition, and care of costume and textile collections. Recipients may include student researchers, museums, small nonprofits, historical societies, historic houses, libraries, universities, or individuals (non-students and students), depending on the specific grant.
One program offers $3,000 plus a stipend (up to about $600) and fee coverage to a student conducting original research in the field of North American costume; the recipient is expected to present findings at a symposium and prepare an article for publication. Another grant provides up to $2,100 to an individual (non-student) member undertaking travel to archives, collections, libraries, or other sites to advance ongoing research. Institutions with modest budgets (annual operating budget up to about $300,000) and limited staff (staff of five or fewer with shared responsibilities) may apply for grants of $1,500 to assist in collection care, conservation, or exhibition of costume and textile items.
The funds are intended to cover project-related expenses such as supplies, display materials, consultant or specialist fees, possibly transportation to research sites, living expenses when away from home or school (for students), image reproduction, rights, and other services directly tied to study or preservation of costume and textile objects. Overhead or indirect institutional costs are generally not allowed.
Eligibility requires nonprofit status for organizations, having a recognized costume or textile collection, being accessible to the public (often a minimum number of open days per year), and in many cases being a member of the society offering the grants. Some grants are specific to students enrolled in degree programs; others are open to non-student individual members. The geographic scope is national within the United States, and the grants are available in varying locations depending on where the institution or individual resides or where the project takes place.
