Collections Management Fund Grant

The Collections Management Fund Grant, offered by Museums Alaska, supports the enhancement of collections management across Alaska's museums and cultural centers. Established in 2013, it provides funding for projects related to collections management, exhibitions, education, and programming. The program encourages applications from any department, fostering professional development and access to conservation resources. Museums Alaska, a statewide association, plays a crucial role in strengthening community engagement and preserving Alaska’s rich heritage.

About Museums Alaska
Museums Alaska is a statewide professional association that strengthens museums and cultural centers and enhances public understanding of their value through trainings, networking, professional development opportunities, grant programs, and advocacy. Museums Alaska provides services to museums, cultural organizations, and professionals across Alaska. Membership is open to all people interested in preserving and sharing Alaska’s heritage.
The Collections Management Fund, established in 2013, builds on the success of the Alaska Art Fund (previously the Art Acquisition Fund). The new fund was created by Rasmuson Foundation and is managed by Museums Alaska. The program responds to needs of the Alaska museum community to enhance collections management through professional expertise, training, and access to conservation materials and supplies.
Starting in 2022, the program was updated to allow ANY department to submit an application requesting funds for a collections-focused project—whether that be collections management, exhibitions, education, or programming.
