• a municipal or university museum with a distinct budget.

To be eligible, applicants must also:

• manage a heritage collection
• provide public access through regular hours of operation (including on a part-time or seasonal basis); and,
• have had annual expenses in 2019 (or your last completed pre-pandemic fiscal year) between $2,000 and $3,000,000.
