Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology

Grant Projects

Grant-funded Research, Education, and Conservation Projects.

The Haffenreffer Museum has been the recipient of numerous grants supporting research, inventory, conservation, and other vital work.

(2019-2022) The Haffenreffer Museum received a grant of $5 million from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to inventory the museum’s collections and transfer them from their current location in Bristol to Providence, RI (yet to be announced). This project will improve collections care, enhance academic study, increase public accessibility, and facilitate greater engagement with Native American and other communities.
