The Institute of Museum and Library Services announced the selection of 16 projects from a pool of 46 applicants for the highly competitive National Leadership Grants for Museums program.
National Leadership Grants for Museums support projects led by museums and related organizations that address critical needs of the museum field and that have the potential to advance practice in the profession so that museums can improve services for the American public. The projects will receive funds totaling $6,324,656, and the organizations receiving the awards are matching them with $3,424,395 in non-federal funds.
“These leadership grants for museums celebrate and sustain the best and most forward-looking programs in the museum world and we are proud to provide this recognition to these fine institutions and programs,” said IMLS Director Crosby Kemper.
