Victory 80 Grant Programme Briefing Session, Tuesday 15 April, 2-3pm
Victory 80 – New Funding for Museums to Commemorate Victory in Europe and Victory in Japan Day.
Museum Development North has signed a funding agreement to award £100,000 in grants to regional museums to support the commemoration of the 80th anniversaries of Victory in Europe and Victory in Japan Day.
DCMS via Arts Council England has asked Museum Development North to administer a time limited, one off-grant to enable museums to undertake a programme of activity in remembrance of the 80th anniversary of VE/VJ Day.
There is a total of £100,000 to invest into five or more museums through grants of £20-25k. Due to the short timeframe, we will work with museums that already have VE/VJ events planned and are looking to amplify, expand and /or sustain their programming. Funding is not available to DCMS sponsored National Museums or National Portfolio Organisations. Supported activities do not need to take place on VE or VJ day but must reflect the legacy of World War II.
To find out more, please attend a briefing on 15 April, 2-3pm and talk to your Museum Development Adviser. Grant applications must be submitted by 5 May and projects should complete by 31 December 2025.
