What kinds of projects does TMU support?

TMU provides grants specifically for international travel associated with professional exchanges in the arts and environmental sciences.  Approximately two-thirds of TMU’s awards are for arts and culture and one-third for environmental projects.

Included in the activities eligible for support that are common to both fields are advanced training programs, workshops, conferences, seminars, joint research projects, and exchanges intended to aid organizations seeking greater institutional stability.  TMU also funds the following:

Arts and Culture:  Creative artistic collaborations, curatorial research projects, performances given in conjunction with lecture/demonstrations and/or workshops, conservation and historic preservation projects, arts management programs, and cultural documentation activities.

Environment:  Ecosystem and habitat conservation programs, land use planning projects, activities that facilitate more effective international contact between environmental organizations, measures designed to preserve biodiversity, and efforts to encourage environmental sustainability.
