Engagement Grants

The National Archives runs an annual programme of Engagement Grants designed to connect archives with their communities and the wider public, often aligning with key moments of national importance. The current round focuses on the theme of 'Belonging', providing funding opportunities for UK archives to develop projects that engage new and diverse audiences. These grants support archives in creating meaningful connections between historical collections and contemporary communities, helping to make archival materials more accessible and relevant to broader audiences. Previous grants have supported projects celebrating significant national anniversaries and other community engagement initiatives.
