We run an annual programme of Engagement Grants to connect archives with their communities and the wider public, often aligning with key moments of national importance.
The theme of the current round of Engagement Grants is ‘Belonging’. Applications for the current round close on Monday 19 January 2026.
Application Form Assessment Criteria Current and Past Projects
While we ask that all applications be submitted via the online form (link above), you can download a word document version of the form to help you prepare.
Find out in this blog post how archives used their 2024/2025 Engagement Grants to celebrate the 80th anniversaries of VE and VJ Day.
