The South Australian History Fund (SAHF) 2016-17 grant round is now open and closes on Friday 19 August 2016.
The South Australian History Fund (SAHF) is History SA’s annual grant fund supporting community groups to undertake small South Australian history projects. Funding for up to $2,000 for projects, $3,000 for publications and $5,000 for research projects is available. Guidelines for the SAHF are available here and you can apply online here. In previous years the SAHF has funded oral history, archiving, digitisation, conservation and interpretation projects, along with a range of publications and key research projects. Groups can also apply for funding up to $5000 to hold public events during the 2017 South Australia’s History Festival.
Intending applicants are very welcome to contact Pauline and Amanda to discuss possible projects and to get advice on putting an application together. The 2016-2017 SAHF grant round closes on 19 August 2016.
There are several help sheets available on the South Australian Community History website that are relevant to the types of projects frequently applied for, including display development, collection storage and interpretive signs.
