consonant with the VRA Foundation mission. 

Up to $1,500 will be awarded per grant. The funds may be used for small, stand-alone projects, pilots or start-up financing for larger projects, or for a component of a larger project. Collaborative projects and those proposed by groups, whether or not affiliated with an organization or institution, are favored. Categories to be considered for funding would include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: 

Image Metadata
Image Cataloguing
Data Standards 
Digital Archives
Digitization Projects (Educational Institutions, Libraries, Museums)

Project proposals may be submitted at any time during the year. The Foundation reviews and selects projects for funding twice a year, in April and November.   

The deadline for April review is March 31. The deadline for November review is October 31.
