Wenner-Gren Foundation
advanced

The Wenner-Gren Foundation has formed a partnership with the Center for Digital Antiquity to offer a resource for prospective applicants and others interested in the work we’ve funded. The Wenner-Gren Collection contains successful grant proposals from our various programs. Our grantees have generously contributed these documents to assist other scholars. Some also contributed earlier iterations of their applications so you can track improvements to their work. Please do not cite any of these proposals without the author’s permission.

There are two ways to search within this collection. You can use the large search field on the banner above (directly below our name). You can also consult the child collections, listed on the righthand panel, which contain grant applications grouped by type. The collection in its entirety is listed below.

More information about our grants and fellowships and instructions on how to apply for them can be found here https://wennergren.org/.
