A year of success: 16 grants secured and £700K raised

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Development Trust (TWAM Development Trust) is the charitable powerhouse behind Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums (TWAM), nurturing a rich tapestry of museum activities. Spanning Tyneside, TWAM oversees nine museums and galleries, each a custodian of internationally significant collections across diverse domains like archives, art, science, technology, and more.

While fundraising breathes life into the museum’s mission, sustaining TWAM’s strategic vision demands a diverse funding landscape. Essential for exhibitions, capital improvements, conservation efforts, learning programs, and community outreach, funds bolster cultural enrichment, education, and civic engagement.

TWAM Development Trust embraced Idox’s GrantFinder as a transformative tool to navigate their fundraising hurdles. This decision stemmed from GrantFinder’s user-friendly interface, consolidating grants and funding sources into a single platform. Regular updates ensure comprehensive coverage across sectors, from public services to charities, while intuitive navigation caters to users of all proficiencies.

Specific alerts for projects and venues prevent missed opportunities, empowering the Trust to seize every chance for financial support.
