He specializes in the coordination and support of cultural heritage and community based social action projects in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asian regions. He has particular experience working with local communities, national and regional museums, heritage institutions, government and non-governmental organizations. In 2018, he left The Metropolitan Museum of Art to create, Tim Healing Project Management LLC as an independent project consultant, supporting a number of international institutions and organizations plan and run their cultural heritage preservation projects. To this end, he continues to work as the main coordinator for the Whiting Foundation funded photographic documentation project and works closely on heritage projects with The Heritage Management Organization, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Slemani Museum, Suleymaniyah, The Egyptian Heritage Rescue Fund, Wallach Art Gallery, The Antiquities Coalition, ALIPH and the Council on Library and Information Resources among others.

This course is aimed at those working in the heritage field, who need some extra support in not only developing their projects, but improving their understanding of the grant writing process. During the course, participants will work through the process of properly defining the scope of their projects, learning about the importance of kick-off meetings, identifying the task and activities of their project, and how to put those tasks in order. They will learn more about how to research and write a compelling proposal for a grant application.

To ensure a full understanding of everything we need to complete to develop our project’s scope and application for funding, the participants on this course will work through real life case studies, watch informative powerpoints and be able to discuss directly with the trainer any questions they might have during the training.

HERITΛGE provides scholarships to most participants in its training programmes. These scholarships can cover up to 90% of the cost of attendance, depending on the circumstances of the participants and the availability of funding. Read more on Fees & Scholarships.
