In 2021, the volunteers of the ACT Fire Brigade Historical Society were thrilled to receive a Community Heritage Grant to preserve the Canberra Fire Museum collection.
Applications are now open for the 2022 Community Heritage Grants (CHG) program.
The CHG program offers cash grants of up to $15,000 to community organisations including historical societies, regional museums, archives, galleries and libraries. The grants support organisations to preserve and manage collections that have Australian cultural and historical significance.
A streamlined application process is being launched in 2022 and a wide variety of community organisations are encouraged to apply, including Indigenous and multicultural organisations.
