COMMUNITY HERITAGE GRANTS 2018
The Community Heritage Grants (CHG) program aims to identify Australian cultural heritage collections which are publicly accessible, locally held and nationally significant. Cash grants of up to $15,000 inc GST are provided to assist in the preservation of and access to these collections. Organisations may apply for more than one project provided the combined value is no more than $15,000 and can be completed within one year. Separate projects require separate application forms.
The program is funded by the Australian Government and managed by the National Library of Australia, with support provided by the Department of Communications and the Arts; the National Archives of Australia; the National Film and Sound Archive and the National Museum of Australia.
