CyArk is pleased to announce two distinct opportunities for heritage professionals in 2026. The Heritage Amplified Grant provides a selected site with full 3D documentation services and the creation of an immersive Tapestry experience. For individuals, the Heritage Documentation Training Grant offers 10 emerging professionals an intensive, free virtual training in photogrammetry and 3D modeling. Whether you are a site manager looking to share a story or a practitioner looking to sharpen your technical skills, these programs are designed to empower local communities through digital preservation.
Key Deadlines:
Heritage Amplified: Applications due January 23, 2026 [EXTENDED]
Documentation Training: Applications due January 30, 2026
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 this funding cycle will open on November 4th, 2025. You can view the recording of the informational webinar for applicants by going to the link below:
