Arcadia Fund — Naturbevaring og Kulturarv

Supports

Arcadia helps people to record cultural heritage, to conserve and restore nature, and to promote open access to knowledge. We want future generations to enjoy the diversity of human culture and the natural world. Conserving and restoring nature We want nature to survive and flourish. Our grants support solutions to the global biodiversity and climate crises. Recording cultural heritage We want future generations to have knowledge of the world’s cultural diversity. Our grants support digital documentation of cultural heritage which is poorly recorded and under threat. Promoting open access We want knowledge to be free for anyone, anywhere to access and use. Our grants help make knowledge available for free online, and help people find and use it How we work We make few, multi-year grants. We fund core costs, existing projects and develop partnerships to create new programmes. We build long-term relationships with our grant recipients. We replicate and expand successful projects and award repeat grants to continue outstanding work. individuals and organizations can apply to programmes that we support. Our grants Our grant recipients have ensured lasting support for millions of hectares of fragile ecosystems. They have created and shared hundreds of thousands of digital records of archives, languages, archaeological sites and craft practices. They have also overcome laws and commercial practices restricting access to publicly-funded research and government documents.
