AMIA 2026 | Travel Grant Application Survey

Travel Grants are open to members and to those who engage or plan to engage with the AMIA community. While past funding recipients are eligible to apply, consideration is given to those who have not recently received funding.

Savada Family Legacy Fund Travel Grants. 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.

San Francisco Film Preserve Travel Grant. 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 2026.

AMIA Community Fund. The Community Fund was established to pay tribute to the work of AMIA members and, through donations, offer colleagues, friends and families a way to honor contributions to the moving image field. The number of travel grants varies each year. Travel grants are funded through donations from members and donors so the number of grants varies each year. The Fund provides grants of up to $1,000 for travel to the annual Conference.
