Copland Foundation Grants – Conservation

These Copland Foundation Grants fund projects throughout Australia that fall under the umbrella of Alex Copland’s interests, namely:

The study, management, conservation, acquisition, and interpretation of collections:
- The study, management, conservation, acquisition and interpretation of relevant historic architecture
- The provision of education programs, whether for staff of such museums, institutions, societies, organisations or for the general public
- The purchase of art works and/or other artefacts, to be identified on public display by the purchaser as a gift from the Copland Foundation.

The Copland Foundation grants are divided into three categories:
- Acquisitions
- Conservation (this listing)
- Interpretation.

Grants will be awarded for the conservation of historic houses or gardens, or collections and individual pieces already held by an institution. Please note that applications seeking funding for a temporary exhibition/display will be judged based on the perceived long-term benefits to the institution.

Priority programs are those involving historic houses, their collections and gardens. While grants are not limited to this category, the Trustees will be particularly pleased to receive grant applications that come under this heading.

To be eligible for assistance a museum/institution must:
- Be an endorsed Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR)
- Be open to the public
