About the company
Iroquois Indian Museum, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Howes Cave, New York, acts as a prime recipient of federal project grants for collections management, contemporary Iroquois art exhibitions, and artist residencies, with no federal contract footprint. The museum has received twelve federal grants across the past five years, with eleven as prime recipient (92%) and one as a sub-recipient, totaling $565 thousand in combined obligated dollars.
The museum's customer base is concentrated among cultural and educational grant makers. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) each have issued four awards to the museum and account for 92% of recent grant activity, alongside three awards from the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. IMLS funding supports collections management and exhibition development; NEA funding supports artist residencies and operational recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Representative prime grant work includes a current Project Grant from IMLS awarded September 1, 2026, with completion by August 31, 2028, to improve collections management of the museum's archaeological and ethnographic holdings representing Haudenosaunee traditions—work that includes hiring a curatorial assistant to migrate an archaeological database of over 20,000 items into a collections management system, condition reporting, and rehousing. A prior IMLS Project Grant (September 1, 2023) funded development of a contemporary Iroquois art exhibition with related programming including theatrical dance interpretation, welding workshops, and artist talks designed to dismantle conventional assumptions about Native art expression. An NEA Project Grant from February 1, 2024, supported an artist residency by sculptor Margaret Jacobs for creation of new work. The museum also served as sub-recipient on an ArtsHERE grant (August 1, 2024) focused on developing a promotional plan to grow and diversify visitation while positioning the museum as a resource for intercultural dialogue through Iroquois art.
Activity is sparse and irregular—one grant per year in 2021–2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026—with only one award facing completion within the next twenty-four months.
