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.
