The Archive Project

Treasure the past. Inspire the future.

Our project is a newly established fund that aims to use its limited resources to support preservation and archiving by smaller movement efforts and organizations.

The Archive Project aims to use the limited funds at its disposal to support work that advances its mission.  That mission is to “preserve the records and other materials of groups and individuals who have made special contributions to social justice and transformation.”  We aim to “promote scholarship and education about that history to impact understanding of contemporary issues and social movements and [to] develop educational materials and programs to that end.”

Inquiries

The Archive Project is looking to learn about other projects that exist which fit our mission. While we are not able to fund large projects at this time, we would like to begin a conversation with you about your project if you think it could benefit from The Archive Project’s support. 

Please contact The Archive Project with a letter or email outlining the elements of your plan and need for funding.  The Archive Project will be in touch with you to begin a more detailed discussion.”

Please provide a brief description of:

  1. Your organization’s values, capabilities, and focus area.
  2. What you hope to accomplish, the need you aim to address.
  3. Your plan for the work which you are carrying out (or hope to carry out).
  4. The general parameters of your request for financial support.

Based on your initial conversations, The Archive Project will provide information so your project may provide a full grant application.
