Applying for Funding — Movable Cultural Property Grants

Application Deadlines

There are no deadlines for the submission of grant requests. Applications for funds to bid at an auction should be submitted as much in advance of the auction as possible to allow sufficient time for the approval process.

Who Can Apply?

Movable Cultural Property Grants are awarded to designated organizations. These organizations meet the necessary standards to preserve and make publicly accessible the cultural property purchased with the assistance of a grant. Organizations that are not designated may submit an application for designation with their application for a grant.
