About this opportunity
The National Leadership Grants for Museums (NLG-M) program, administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), supports projects that address critical needs in the museum field and have the potential to advance professional practice to strengthen museum services for the American public. Eligible applicants include museums, museum organizations, institutions of higher education, and public/private nonprofit agencies that operate museums. The program has three key goals focused on learning, community engagement, and collections stewardship. Applications must designate the project as either non-research (1-3 years) or research (1-3 years) and are due by November 15, 2024, with award decisions expected in August 2025.
The anticipated total funding available is $5,800,000, with individual awards ranging from $50,000 to $750,000. Non-research projects require at least 1:1 cost sharing from non-federal sources, while research projects do not. Funded work will be performed across the United States at various museums, museum organizations, and academic institutions.
