Description
The Greenwood Fund, managed by the Denver Foundation, provides targeted support for conservation, collections care, and digitization projects at small museums located in Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The fund aims to extend the lifespan of museum artifacts and collections by promoting best practices in conservation, preservation, and collections management. Projects can include interventive treatments, acquisition of archival supplies, appropriate storage materials, and digitization efforts to enhance preservation and access. For 2026, additional funding is available for video fundraising appeals in response to federal funding cuts to museums.
