Regenerative Fund Round 3 open for feedback on proposals until 11.59pm, 19 March 2023.
MA needs sector feedback on it's submission for funding to MCH.
Investment in infrastructure, awareness and capability building of the GLAM sector.
This proposal is for investment into the infrastructure, awareness and capability of the sector. It is for three key initiatives we believe will make significant difference to our sector with enduring outcomes.
Build Infrastructure:
The infrastructure refers to MA so it can support the sector to a high standard, which we can’t do at current staffing of 1.6FTEs. It is to the benefit of the sector and government stakeholders to have a strong organisation representing the sector and working hard for its sustainability, wellbeing and workforce.
Build awareness:
One of the important roles Museums Aotearoa has on behalf of its members is to promote. We are missing a huge opportunity to help our sector recover from the impact of COVID if we don’t talk to tourists. The WONDER FULL campaign had excellent results and we want to amplify it. We are a valuable tourism asset and our value should be more visible to tourists.
Build capability:
The sector needs a platform for connection where members can share their skills, ask for advice, ask for a mentor and access a library of resources and PD content. It will support special interest groups and allow networks to form and flourish. The sector has been identifying the same issues for many years – barriers engaging with government, lack of funding and sustainable revenue sources, and feelings of isolation and lack of support and pathways for development.
This funding is the opportunity to make bold changes to address these issues. The solutions are designed to bring about realistic and sustainable benefits. They are based on robust research and feedback and have broad support from the sector.
