MD North – Future Preparedness Grant Panel Recruitment

We are recruiting: MD North Future Preparedness Grants Assessment Panel 

MD North is looking to recruit members of a Future Preparedness Open Grants Assessment Panel. This is a voluntary opportunity to assess one round of funding as part of the Future Preparedness Programme.

The Future Preparedness Programme Grants are made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to design a programme to support museums in the north of England to respond to and prepare for climate disruptions through a series of workshops, bespoke support, events and a funding opportunity.

We are looking for Panel Members who have existing or emerging knowledge, skills or experience in one or more of the following:

  • Governance and leadership, including strategic planning for environmental sustainability
  • Operations and facilities management or building maintenance
  • Collections care and management
  • Experience of capital development projects of heritage buildings
  • Capital development fundraising

Please note: Museum Organisations that Panel members represent will not be eligible to apply for funding.
