Call for Project Proposals
The SCAA Grants Committee invites project proposals for the 2012-13 Institutional Grants Program. A limit of $3000.00, per project, has been set for 2012-13. Any project proposed would need to be undertaken between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2013. We invite proposals for funds to be used:
- as sole funding for "stand alone" projects that are not connected to any other grant program; or
- as matching funding for grant opportunities offered by other agencies such as the National Archival Development Program (NADP), Young Canada Works (YCW), or any other cost-shared program.
Funding for "stand alone" projects is intended to support arrangement and description, conservation, digitization, outreach, or any other archives-centered project. Matching funding projects must be clearly archival in nature and comply with the application rules of the grant they intend to support.
Reports for previous grants must be received prior to granting of new funding. Granted funds must be used for the project awarded. The SCAA must be notified of any projected unexpended funds provided by the Institutional Grants Program by 31 December 2012 and any unexpended funds must be received by the SCAA within 30 days of completing the project.
Projects selected for Institutional Grants Program funding will be prioritized by:
- Quality of the project (its value to the institution and to the community);
- Smaller institutional members will receive priority over archives with well established funding structures;
- Priority will also be given to archives that have not previously received funding through the SCAA.
Applicants may submit multiple proposals. In such case applicants must prioritize their projects (first, second, etc.). The Grants Committee will fund multiple projects only if funding permits.
Please contact Cameron Hart, Archives Advisor, if you wish to submit a proposal for consideration. The deadline for complete project proposals is 18 October 2011.
All interested organizations must be institutional members in good standing with the Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists.
