Mae amgueddfeydd yn chwarae rhan bwysig yn ein cymunedau – ac maent hefyd wedi teimlo effaith uniongyrchol y pandemig a’r cyfyngiadau sydd yn eu lle. Er mwyn cefnogi’r sector yn ystod yr amser anodd hwn, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gweithredu Cronfa Cadernid COVID-19, sy’n cael ei gweinyddu drwy Ffederasiwn Amgueddfeydd Cymru. Mae wedi dyfarnu £100,451 i 17 o sefydliadau hyd yma. Mae aelodau’r Ffederasiwn hefyd wedi asesu cynllun grant y Llywodraeth sy’n seiliedig ar werthoedd ardrethol ardrethi busnes sydd wedi arwain at £360,000 o gyllid. Mae ceisiadau hefyd yn cael eu prosesu ar gyferCronfa Cadernid Diwylliannoly Llywodraeth.
