The Association of Independent Museums’ (AIM) long-standing partnership with the Pilgrim Trust is to be extended for an additional two years with a further funding boost of £292,600.
In partnership with AIM, Pilgrim Trust has helped small museums to care for and conserve their collections for many years, support which has proven to be popular and invaluable to AIM members.
Last year, with additional support from the Julia Rausing Trust, Pilgrim Trust funding enabled AIM to launch a brand new grant programme – Museum Fundamentals – providing support, advice and funding to help with core museum activities, including caring for collections.
The first round of Museum Fundamental grants was announced recently here with Expressions of Interest for the second round open until August 8th.
Pilgrim Trust Director, Sue Bowers said:
“We are delighted to be renewing our strategic partnership with AIM and to partner with the Julia Rausing Trust so that Museum Fundamentals can now be extended for a further two years.”
AIM Director, Lisa Ollerhead:
“I am delighted that our important partnership with Pilgrim Trust continues. Their ongoing support strengthens and broadens what AIM can offer museums, in direct response to member needs. It helps the many small and medium-sized cultural organisation’s that are a mainstay of the UK’s heritage sector, and whose hard work keeps collections cared for and accessible to all.”
