The Volunteer Initiated Museum (VIM) Grant Program provides assistance to volunteer-initiated community museums and keeping places in NSW. The VIM Grant Program encourages museum volunteers to build their skills and confidence in both project management and grant applications, by undertaking progressively more complex projects and ultimately addressing the sustainability of their museums.
