Conferences, Seminars and Courses Grant

The Conferences, Seminars and Courses Grant provides funding for Jewish heritage professionals to attend conferences, seminars or specialist training courses. It is targeted at professional staff (archivists, librarians, conservators, curators, educators, cataloguers and similar) working in museums, archives, libraries or other not-for-profit heritage organisations with significant European Jewish collections. Grants are awarded to cover costs such as course fees, travel and accommodation and are paid as reimbursements to the applicant's organisation. Applications are assessed on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Up to £1000 reimbursement for course/conference fees, travel and accommodation; official grant letter and agreement if approved.

Applicants must be Jewish heritage staff (e.g., archivists, librarians, conservators, curators, educators, cataloguers) working professionally for a museum, archive, library or other not-for-profit heritage organisation with a significant Jewish collection. Applicants must be based in a European country, work at least 16 hours per week (may be part-time) and have at least six months' professional experience in the field; the employing organisation must have not-for-profit or charitable status.

Apply via the Rothschild Foundation online grants portal (sign in or register). Submit supporting documents including proof of not-for-profit status, letter of support from supervisor, and a professional CV; upload invoices/receipts for reimbursement.
