Grants Overview and Guidelines

FRAME supports activities at member museums in North America and France with the goal of serving FRAME’s mission to promote cultural exchange in the context of museum collaborations. FRAME’s grants promote the incubation of cooperative initiatives between members that are the result of joint interests, research, planning, or the sharing models of best practice among FRAME colleagues.

In compliance with its strategic plan (2024-2028), FRAME Grants align with initiatives resulting from the FRAME Research Program, the FRAME Long-Term Loans Program and the FRAME Travel Program.

  • Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) will be integrated across all functions. To achieve this ambition FRAME also encourage transdisciplinary actions crossing curatorial and educational expertise among members.
  • Each programmatic action will participate in a long-term action plan which includes an evaluation and a collective presentation of results to the FRAME network and beyond.
