I thought this might be relevant for some museums out there:
Furthermore Offers Support for Nonfiction Book Publishing
Deadline: September 15, 2004
A program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund, the Furthermore program provides
grants to support nonfiction books on art, architecture, and design;
conservation; cultural history; and public issues.
The program seeks work that appeals to an informed general audience;
gives evidence of high standards in editing,
design, and production; promises a reasonable shelf life; and might not
otherwise achieve top quality or even come
into being. Book proposals to which a university press or trade publisher
is already committed and for which there
is a feasible distribution plan are usually preferred.
Furthermore applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations. Successful
applicants have included civic and academic
institutions, museums, independent and university presses, and
professional societies. Trade publishers and public
agencies may apply for Furthermore grants in partnership with an eligible
nonprofit project sponsor. Applications
from individuals cannot be accepted.
Grants will range from $500 to approximately $15,000, and may be used to
fund writing, research, editing, design,
indexing, photography, illustration, and printing and binding.
Complete program guidelines and application forms are available at the
Furthermore Web site.
