# Engagement Grants

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 Engagement Grants programme offers grants of up to £3,000 for organisations
to conduct outreach and engagement projects that will connect archives with
their communities in places across England and Wales.

Our Engagement Grants are often responsive to cultural events and days of
national importance. Each opportunity is advertised on our
[website](https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/professional-guidance-and-services/grants-and-funding-for-archives/),
[Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/uknatarcsector.bsky.social) and [Jisc mailing
