Grants to USA and territories nonprofit organizations and agencies for initiatives to benefit African American museums. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Funding is intended to expand institutional capacity as well as to support the growth and development of museum professionals and increase access to museum and archival collections at African American museums and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Projects meeting the goals of the AAHC program may include, but are not limited to:
Projects designed to build the capacity of African American museums may involve increasing the number of museum professionals working at African American museums to enable the museum to expand educational programs, engage the community, enhance organizational operations and resiliency, or provide for enhanced care of collections. IMLS encourages museum professionals and institutions to share and adopt best practices and innovations by creating skill-building and capacity expanding programs that are applicable across all levels of museum staff to ensure the highest standards in all aspects of museum practices and operations.
Projects to support the growth and development of museum professionals at African American museums may involve hosting paid internships at African American museums; creating mentorship opportunities for emerging and mid-career staff to connect with, learn from and engage with senior leaders and founders in the African American museum community; creating learning and growth opportunities for museum staff to build skills, enhance knowledge and expertise in museum-related subjects and areas of need.
