Introduction

The purpose of these guidance notes is to provide eligible museums and galleries with the information required in order to submit a bid for the 2025-27 round of the DCMS/Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund. The Fund supports capital projects (capital expenditure only) aimed at improving the display, care and accessibility of significant collections across England.

Please note that any funding awarded will only be made available to claim from April 2026 to March 2027.

You are advised to consider carefully whether your project schedule would allow you to make a claim within this fixed timeframe. If successful, you will be offered a maximum of four opportunities throughout Financial Year 2026-27 in which to submit claims and invoices for reimbursement.

Eligibility

The Fund is open to bids from accredited museums, museum services and galleries in England falling into one of the following categories:

  • Museums/museums services and universities with at least one Designated collection;
  • Current Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs).

Bid Criteria

Bids submitted for consideration must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  1. Material improvements to the display and interpretation of collections, in permanent galleries, exhibition spaces and public spaces, to enhance visitor experience.

  2. Improvements to access and/or interpretation for visitors with disabilities, children and young people, and/or underrepresented audiences.

  3. Improvements to environmental controls, collections storage and conservation facilities to enhance the care of collections.

Please bear in mind that funding should not be sought to cover the basic maintenance of existing facilities, such as routine repairs and cleaning, but rather for projects that improve the physical infrastructure of the institution concerned to enhance the display, care and accessibility of significant collections.

All projects are expected to be environmentally sustainable and to have environmental considerations embedded in their planning.

Terms and Conditions of the Fund

The following conditions apply to all applicants:

  • Only one capital project bid per museum, gallery, museums service or university museum will be considered.
  • Bids from museums with Designated collections need not be restricted to (i) the Designated element of the collection, or (ii) within a museum group, to the museum with the Designated collection,
  • Funding sought must be between £20,000 and £400,000.
  • Funding sought must not exceed 85% of total eligible costs (see below for the list of costs that cannot be met through the fund).
  • Awards are not made retrospectively and funding awarded will only be made available to claim from April 2026 to March 2027 – i.e. works met by the funding request made in the bid must not take place before 1 April 2026.
  • Museums cannot normally apply for works already in receipt of grants funded by either of the partners (HMG and the Wolfson Foundation).
  • Applicants should either own the building where the project is taking place or have a secure, long-term registered lease of at least 10 years, without a break clause, at the time an application is made.
  • Bids will not be considered for projects related to shops, cafes or other similar commercial spaces.

  • Funding sought must not include the following ineligible costs:

    • Professional fees, consultancy, and internal staff costs (including, but not restricted to, the costs of design, preliminaries, tendering, obtaining consents, project management, construction management, and quantity surveyors);
    • Transit costs (e.g. carriage and delivery);
    • VAT;
    • Contingencies;
    • Travel and subsistence;
    • Maintenance;
    • Marketing and publicity;
    • Health and Safety systems.

Assessment of bids

An assessment panel consisting of representatives from DCMS and the Wolfson Foundation, as well as expert external assessors, will convene in February 2026.

The Panel will assess eligible bids against the core criteria set out under ‘Bid criteria’ above. The principal assessment criteria will be how well the proposed projects support the fund’s central aim: to improve the display, care and accessibility of significant collections across England.

In assessing bids, the Panel will also take into consideration:

  • the effect the project will have on the financial sustainability of the museum (including increased projected visitor numbers)
  • the role played by the institution in the local community
  • Previous support through the fund, with applicants and/or sites that have not been awarded grants previously considered a higher priority for funding. Applicants or sites that were awarded grants in the last round of the fund (2022-24) will be considered a lower priority for funding.
  • the geographic dispersal of museum sites supported
  • the relative deprivation of the area where the museum is located, based on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) and Community Needs Index (CNI).

During the assessment process you may be asked to supply further information or respond to queries that have been raised.
