About
To broaden participation in the annual Conference, AMIA has developed a travel grant program to help defray costs and encourage attendance for those who might not otherwise be able to attend. Travel grants are funded through the generosity of AMIA members and donors.
Grant applications and deadlines are available on the Conference website.
The AMIA Community Fund was established to pay tribute to the work of AMIA members, and offer colleagues, friends and families a way to honor contributions to the moving image field. The Fund provides grants of up to $1,000 for travel to the annual Conference. The Community Fund is funded through members and donors, and not through the general AMIA budget. The number of travel grants each year is based on donations received. The Savada Family Legacy Travel Grants and the Community Fund Travel Grants share a single application form.
Consider a donation the Community Fund! Your donation is an opportunity to support the work of colleagues, friends, and professionals who ensure that our media culture is accessible today and tomorrow.
The Savada Family Legacy Fund Travel Grant offers two grants, up to $1,000 each, in funding for travel costs to the annual AMIA conference.
The San Francisco Film Preserve Travel Grant was established to help develop and support new media archivists, the caretakers of our film heritage. The Grant provides travel funding for the AMIA Annual Conference and is intended for those entering the field, new professionals, or archivists from developing regions. Two grants each of $500 travel + registration will be awarded in 2024.
The Carolyn Hauer International NxNW Fund is dedicated to promoting internationalism within AMIA. Established in 2004 in honor of the late Carolyn Hauer, the fund provides travel grants to conference presenters from developing areas. The Fund also provides individual and institutional memberships to institutions from developing areas.
