About this grant
 
Organisational Health Check Grants are funded by South East Museum Development (SEMD) and Arts Council England (ACE).  The grant is open exclusively to museums that have completed the Organisational Health Check in 2020-21.  

The Organisational Health Check is a self-assessment took that identifies areas of strength, and areas in need of development within the museum. This is particularly helpful for museums going through periods of change, or those that have outstanding areas to develop to meet Accreditation standards.  

Museums taking part in the Organisational Health Check will receive an Advisory Report from South East Museum Development . 
This grant helps the museum fund activity that addresses one or more issues identified in the Advisory Report.  We expect all activity proposed in your application to be completed within 12 months of receiving the funds. 
 
Please read the Organisational Health Check Grant Guidance and discuss your application with a Museum Development Officer before submitting your grant application.  
 
IMPORTANT:  It is part of our funding conditions that grant recipients submit data in the Annual Museum Survey (registration June/July 2022; survey deadline Sept/Oct 2022).  Failure to do so will render the museum ineligible for SEMD grants until April 2023.
