Seed Corn Grants

The National Archives has reopened its Seed Corn Grant, offering funding of £500 to £5,000 for community groups, archives, and heritage organisations to test early-stage ideas. This scheme supports risky or experimental projects, such as piloting new engagement methods, building partnerships, or conducting research and development, without the pressure of delivering immediate large-scale outputs.

Eligible applicants include grassroots organisations and the wider GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), though Higher Education Institutions cannot lead applications.

Projects can last up to one year, with all funds required to be spent by December 2027.

The deadline to apply is Friday, 17 April 2026.
