The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Challenge Grants program (CFDA 45.130) to develop a comprehensive Climate Smart Mitigation and Adaptation Plan (MAP). The two-year project, running from April 2025 to March 2027, will help TMA assess its greenhouse gas emissions, plan strategies to reduce its carbon footprint, and leverage its expertise as a cultural institution to guide regional and global efforts to address climate change in the arts and culture sector. The project aims to create climate impact tools and communication strategies to engage stakeholders and encourage emissions reductions across the community. As a prominent non-profit museum, TMA has a track record of successfully managing federal grant awards from the NEH and other agencies to support critical infrastructure, educational initiatives, and strategic planning efforts.

Producing a comprehensive climate smart mitigation and adaptation plan (map) at the toledo museum of art [the toledo museum of art (TMA) is approaching the midpoint of its ambitious five-year strategic plan that established a vision for becoming the model museum in the united states. Our plan is operationalized through four objectives and TMA is now in a key position to mobilize a diverse staff, assess its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, plan ways to reduce emissions, and leverage its expertise as an anchor institution leading regional and global efforts to limit the impacts of climate change in the arts and culture sector. TMA will communicate and share, in audience-specific ways, its climate plan, calling on stakeholders to examine reductions of their own GHG emissions. The museum has a duty to address its climate change contributions and to lead others in critical analyses of their climate impacts always driving toward operational excellence. This project will develop climate impact tools leveraging the strength of the humanities to guide others? Actions on climate change issues.]
