Community Heritage Grants

Applications for the 2008 round of Community Heritage Grants have now closed.

The Community Heritage Grants (CHG) Program aims to preserve and provide access to locally held, nationally significant cultural heritage collections across Australia. The program provides grant funding of up to $15 000 for preservation projects and preservation and collection management training through community based workshops.

Community organisations such as historical societies, museums, public libraries, archives, Indigenous and migrant community groups which collect and provide public access to their cultural heritage collections are eligible to apply.

CHG is funded by the Australian Government through the National Library of Australia; the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts ; the National Archives of Australia; the National Film and Sound Archive and the National Museum of Australia.
