Are you working to develop new visions or narratives about our cultural heritage, for example through an exceptional presentation, a new presentation arrangement, layout or structure, or a thematic collaboration that is relevant to society and would reach a diverse audience? If so, you may be eligible for a Heritage Innovation grant.
The Mondriaan Fund offers Heritage Innovation grants to stimulate museums and heritage institutions managing collections to develop innovative initiatives that result in transition, including research, new programming, exceptional thematic collaborations and redesigns that are relevant to society.
Applications for the Heritage Innovation grant can be submitted twice each year. The Heritage Innovation application round with a deadline of 15 May falls under the old scheme. The application round with deadline 9 October follows the new scheme for the 2025-2028 policy plan period, which will be published in June.
