Examples of activities for which the grant can be used, include:

This year we are encouraging museums to think about how their work supports the Creative Case for Diversity. It might not be applicable to your project, but if you are doing any of the following, please highlight it in your application:
– Research into collections that reveal untold stories of people or communities under-represented in your museum
– Improving documentation to tell these stories or update interpretations
– Including or updating exhibition labels or text so that these stories are available for your visitors to read
– Working with community groups to identify and interpret collections that you have little information for
