About the company
Louisiana Museum Foundation, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana, receives federal grants as a recipient (100% of recent awards) to fund museum archives modernization, educational programming, and cultural infrastructure projects with no federal contract prime or sub work in the portfolio.
The foundation's recent federal footprint centers on cultural heritage and community economic development grants from five distinct agencies. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science together account for six of nine funded awards; the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, the Department of the Interior National Park Service, and the National Science Foundation round out the active customer set. Combined obligated dollars across all source awards total $6.7 million, with activity sparse but concentrated in recent years — one award in 2022 and two in 2026 — following a long gap from 2017 to 2021.
Recent grant work includes a $1.369 million project grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded September 1, 2026, under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) to modernize the Louisiana Colonial Documents Archive at the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint through September 2028. The project funds digital platform modernization, transcription and translation of 18th-century French and Spanish handwritten documents, and development of K-12 classroom curricula; the foundation will pilot lesson plans with a cohort of six to eight Louisiana teachers across four structured sessions. The foundation also received a $142,541 National Endowment for the Humanities project grant (CFDA 45.164) awarded May 1, 2026, to develop the "Bernardo de Galvez y Revolutionarios: The Spanish Fight for American Freedom" exhibition running through April 2027, exploring overlooked Revolutionary War history in Louisiana. A third award — a $1.125 million Economic Development Administration project grant (CFDA 11.307) from September 2022 — funded infrastructure improvements at the Jazz Museum including first-floor cafe reconstruction, outdoor stage construction, and ground improvements to support regional tourism recovery. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete.
