The Thanksgiving Point Institute Inc. received a $1,234,202 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the National Leadership Grants (CFDA 45.312) program. The grant will fund a 3-year research project to better understand barriers to museum attendance, with a focus on the impact of cost through the use of the Museums for All program. The Institute will partner with the Santa Cruz Children's Discovery Museum and the Regnier Family Wonderscope Children's Museum to refine an existing survey, develop a parallel survey for general museum visitors, and recruit 30 museums to distribute both surveys. The data gathered and analyzed by in-house evaluators and consultants will be shared on the Museums for All website to help museums nationwide improve accessibility and extend their reach community-wide.
