CyArk’s Heritage Amplified Grant will provide recipients with an opportunity to amplify place-based stories of cultural heritage through the development of a web-based 3D virtual experience. Grantees will receive CyArk services to design and build the experience with the final output hosted on CyArk’s Tapestry platform, which can be freely shared and embedded. The grant will support the facilitation and execution of all aspects of a CyArk project, including participation in our place-based story development process and CyArk’s high-resolution digital documentation of the selected site. Grant recipients will also receive a small cash grant to support their team during the project activities. Applications for the grant close at midnight PST on February 21st 2025.
