Museum Assessment Program (MAP) Grant Applications Now Available
(December 1 Deadline)

MAP grant applications are now available to museums of all types and
sizes for the annual December 1 postmark deadline. 

Museums choose one of four types of assessments offered by the American
Association of Museums (AAM): Collections Management, Governance,
Institutional, and Public Dimension. IMLS grant funds pay for most
assessment costs. Download the application forms at www.aam-us.org/map. 

Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible
institutions. If you have eligibility questions, contact Jeannette
Thomas, Program Specialist, at (202) 606-8548 or jkthomas at imls.gov. 

Demand is expected to be high this year due to the recent revision of
the Public Dimension Assessment, the continuing success of the new
Governance Assessment, and a change in policy allowing museums to repeat
an assessment after seven years. Apply now at www.aam-us.org/map. 

For more information, visit www.aam-us.org/map, call (202) 289-9118, or
e-mail map at aam-us.org.
