Sources of Grant Funding

For collections that are held privately or not required by law to be deposited at a public office. Individual circumstances vary so greatly, that your project may be eligible for one grant giver and not for another. It is a matter of trial and error.  Local trusts can be very good sources that are often not taken up.
