  • Purpose:

    The Getty Grant Program provides support to institutions and individuals throughout the world for projects that promote the understanding of art and its history and the conservation of cultural heritage. We seek projects that set high standards and provide opportunities for collaboration. Conservation grants provide support to museums and other cultural organizations for a wide range of projects focused on the conservation and management of collections of works of art as well as historic buildings, districts, landscapes, and archaeological sites. The importance of research, conservation surveys, conservation planning, interpretation, and training is emphasized as part of a broader approach to effective stewardship and long-term preservation. LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Grants are offered to organizations throughout the world to support the education and development of professionals working within the Getty's areas of interest. Through its multicultural internship program in Los Angeles, the Grant Program also seeks to encourage and nurture a diverse new generation of leaders for museums and visual arts organizations. The various programs of the Getty also offer graduate-level internships at the Getty Center each year.
