NEW YORK, NY.- Eli Wilner & Company has announced that approximately $100,000 remains available through its museum grant program to support reframing and frame restoration projects at museums and cultural institutions nationwide.

Funding partners committed $200,000 for the August 2026 funding cycle. Approximately half of those funds have already been awarded, with the remaining $100,000 available on a first-come, first-served basis through August 31, 2026, or until the funds are fully committed.

The grants are intended to offset a portion of the cost of qualifying frame restoration and reframing projects. Recipient institutions are required to participate in the cost of the project, while grant funding covers the remaining approved portion. This shared-cost approach enables museums to undertake important projects that might otherwise be postponed due to budget limitations.

New applications are currently being accepted via email at info@eliwilner.com or by phone at 212-744-6521.

The continued expansion of the program reflects the strong response from museums across the country and the ongoing demand for assistance with significant conservation, restoration, and reframing initiatives. Eli Wilner & Company looks forward to reviewing additional applications during the remainder of the August funding cycle.

Since the inception of the Eli Wilner Frame Funding Program, grants have supported projects at a broad range of institutions, including the Akron Art Museum, Birmingham Museum of Art, Chazen Museum of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Drayton Hall Preservation Trust, Fenimore Art Museum, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Joslyn Art Museum, Krannert Art Museum, Memorial Art Gallery, Milwaukee Art Museum, Morris Museum, Museum of the City of New York, Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, New Britain Museum of American Art, the New-York Historical Society, Parrish Art Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, RISD Museum, The Ringling, San Antonio Museum of Art, Seattle Art Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Toledo Museum of Art, University of Arizona Museum of Art, Washington and Lee University, Wellin Museum of Art, and The White House.
