As the primary source of federal support for the nation’s libraries
and museums, the Institute of Museum and Library Services supports
exemplary stewardship of the nation’s collections and promotes the
use of technology to facilitate the discovery of natural and
cultural heritage. The Museums for America grant program may be of
interest to organizations with small natural history collections
since each year, awards ranging from $5,000 to $150,000 are made to
help with collections management, conservation surveys, treatments,
environmental improvements, rehousing, professional
development/training, digitization, and collections information
management. In this webinar, we will describe the goals of the grant
program, examine institutional eligibility requirements, explore the
types of projects supported, identify matching requirements, and
offer suggestions for putting together a competitive application.<br>
