Additional (grant) money

Additional (grant) money can be an interesting option for larger archive and heritage projects that fall outside the scope of basic management, e.g. for a publication or exhibition based on your archive and/or collections. Follow the links below to find more information about looking for extra funding.

• You can find all the information about grants from the Flemish government via the grant guide on the Department of Culture, Youth and Media website.
• FARO, the Flemish Institution for Cultural Heritage, publishes an overview of public and private funding sources on its website, where you can also find links to various methods of alternative fundraising, such as crowdfunding.
• Various organisations in the cultural heritage sector can help you prepare a project application. You can find an overview of these organisations here.
• Your archive and/or collections can also earn you money. Perhaps you still have surplus copies of programmes, posters or other promotional materials, which you might be able to put on general sale via your website? Don’t forget to mention what you want to achieve with the extra money raised! And make sure you always keep two copies of each item for your archive.
• As well as looking for additional resources, you might also be able to limit certain costs by joining forces with other organisations, such as buying a server or back-up-system together, or renting storage space...
