State and regional professional organizations are often a source of funding for professional development. For example, the Wisconsin Federation of Museums offers “mini-grant awards of up to $750 annually to assist affiliate institutions in the care and exhibit of collections, training of staff, and improving overall service to their communities.”
In addition, with advanced planning, funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grants for Small Institutions can be used for training at the Center for Collections Care at Beloit College.
