Description

Created in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020, the Archival Workers Emergency Fund was established to provide financial assistance for archival workers experiencing acute, unanticipated financial hardship due to the crisis.

The number of recipients and award amounts will be determined by the SAA Foundation AWEF Grant Review Committee in collaboration with the SAA Foundation Board of Directors based on need and available funds. The award amount will be up to a maximum of $1,000. All recipients will also receive a complimentary year-long membership in SAA. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through December 31, 2021.
