Funding

In July 2010 the WCP was awarded a grant of $281,000 US (£176,145 GBP) from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to fund Phase 1 of its work. This funding ran from 18th October 2010 (start of the project) until 13 May 2014.

In February 2011 the A. R. Wallace Memorial Fund (http://wallacefund.info/) paid a programmer £500 to design the the Project's MS Access database, which will be used to catalogue Wallace's surviving correspondence. The WCP's Mellon grant does not include money to pay for the construction of databases or websites.

In March 2014 the project received a grant of $109,989 US (= £64,972 GBP) from the Alfred Russel Wallace Centenary Celebration, directed by Richard Milner, a project funded by the John Templeton Foundation, USA. This will pay the costs of the WCP for 1 year and the funding will run from 14 May 2014 until 13 May 2015.

In December 2014 the project was awarded a grant of £399,795 GBP by the John Templeton Foundation (USA), which will fund the project for 33 months from 13 May 2015 until 12 February 2018.
