Finding and Getting Small Grants for Archaeology
Archaeology in the Community
April 9, 2025 | 7:00PM-8:00PM EST
This workshop is designed to help people interested in using small grants to advance archaeological research, build community programs, or begin a pilot project. The workshop will cover strategies to find small grants, how to interpret calls for submission, and considerations for how to address questions on grant applications. This will include a brief review of putting together a budget and some of the unforeseen expenses that grant-writers should consider during that process. These small grant opportunities are particularly useful for community organizations and graduate student researchers looking to get a project off the ground, take current projects to the next level, or to provide a proof-of-concept before pursuing large funding opportunities from government agencies or philanthropic organizations.
