Community Heritage Grant Winners!
The Sea Heritage Foundation is excited and proud to have won a Community Heritage Grant 2025. This grant enables our team of volunteers to work alongside a professional to ensure the correct preservation and storage of the important artefacts and ephemera in our care are available for generations to come.
This is the second round of the grants that we have been privileged to have won through this important program, which provides non-profit community organisations with funding to assist with the preservation of locally owned, nationally significant collections. The grants also aim to make these collections more publicly accessible.

The knowledge gained by our volunteers working alongside professionals that this program allows has been critical for us and for not-for-profit organisations of all sizes across Australia. You will find many valuable resources for collection management on their website.
CHG is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts (Office for the Arts); National Library of Australia; the National Archives of Australia; the National Film and Sound Archive and the National Museum of Australia.
