The Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded The WW II Foundation $356,093 on September 1, 2026, under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) to complete a one-year capacity-building project integrating physical and digital educational experiences.

The recipient will sponsor student bus transportation to and from the museum, create new educator kits with standards-based lesson plans and discussion guides, and produce a virtual reality film. Project outcomes include expanded access to the physical museum and increased engagement with the museum's online resources. Primary beneficiaries are local schoolchildren, veterans, and visitors accessing the museum's digital content.

Performance takes place in Wakefield, South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The project period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027.
