Grants to USA and territories nonprofit organizations and agencies to improve museum services. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Funding is intended for initiatives in the areas of institutional capacity building and professional development.
Museums Empowered: Professional Development Opportunities for Museum Staff is a special initiative of the Museums for America grant program with the goal of strengthening the ability of an individual museum to serve its public through professional development activities that cut across various departments to generate systemic change within the museum.
Museums need to be dynamic to respond to fast-evolving technological advances and changing demographics. Museums also need to generate and share results to demonstrate their community impact. In addition, they need to develop sustainable organizational structures and flexible strategies for long-term stability. Professional development is critical for museums to deliver on these areas of need.
IMLS encourages applicants to invest in the professional development of museum staff, leadership, and volunteers to enhance their skills and ensure the highest standards in all aspects of museum operations. Potential projects should involve multiple levels of staff and generate organizational change.
Museums Empowered has four project categories:
