Thanks to everyone for the information on funders who support digital media in some form. These grants cover a broad range of “digital,” from media production(video, interactive, web, mobile, AR,VR), to TV production, to digital staff and digitizing collections.
These are the funding sources I have so far, in no particular order: 1. NEH 2. IMLS 3. The Knight Foundation 4. Bloomberg Philanthropies 5. Samuel Kress Foundation 6. MacArthur Foundation 7. NEA 8. Mellon Foundation in Canada: 9. Documentary Heritage Communities Program 10. Canada Council for the Arts Google Arts was also suggested. I’m not sure how to evaluate that since they create digital projects for museums, rather than contributing to museum initiated projects. What do you think? Should hardware manufacturers and software developers, who tend to cherry pick projects, also be included? I know funding patterns change over time but I’m interested in putting together a list of programs that are ongoing or have been sustained over a period of years. It would be great to add to this list, and then include how much money each source has granted, over the past 5 years or so. It’s time consuming research! I need a smart intern! Looking forward to more conversation on this.
