Can I apply for more than one grant?
Please apply for only one grant per grant cycle (one per each fiscal year). Please choose to apply for a Regular GIA grant up to $12,000, or for the "easier-to-apply-for" Mini Grant, up to $2,000.
Where does the funding come from?
For over 45 years, funding for the Alaska State Museum's Grant-In-Aid Program was a line item in the State's budget. In 2018, Grant-in-Aid was not funded this way, and the Alaska State Museum took a hard look at the Program. Because the Program can provide substantial support to -- especially -- smaller institutions statewide and the museum field in Alaska, the Alaska State Museum is determined to continue this worthwhile Program. To do so, the Grant-In-Aid Program is now funded entirely from gate receipts, or admissions paid by the general public, when visiting the Alaska State Museum.
