GRANTS

In accordance with the objectives of its founder, Colonel Robert Ogilby, AMOT offers grants to Regimental and Corps Museums to help with a range of projects and initiatives; from undertaking governance reviews and creating new education sessions, through to supporting touring exhibitions and staff development. AMOT grants are available to members of the AMOT Network and the programme opens for applications at the beginning of each year. Applicants will be required to submit an initial Expression of Interest, and, if successful at this first stage, will be invited to submit a more detailed application. The Grants Committee will review its priorities each year and issue new guidance regarding the projects which the Trust is keen to support. It is recommended that all applicants read this guidance and make contact with AMOT to discuss their project prior to submitting an Expression of Interest.

2024 PROJECT GRANTS PROGRAMME

Since the beginning of 2020, AMOT has continued to support network members through our dedicated Project Grants programme, including additional funding released in 2021 to help museums through the Covid period.

AMOT is delighted to announce that its grants for 2024 have been awarded! 

This year the general category of ‘Reinterpretation’ was prioritised, and we were able to award six museums with a sum of money to aid them in their projects. Please see below for details.
