The mission of IMLS is to advance, support, and empower America’s museums, libraries, and related organizations through grantmaking, research, and policy development.
Several museum grant programs are available to support digital projects:
- Museums for America and Inspire! Grants for Small Museums: These two grant programs support the development of digital tools and resources that help museums meet their individual strategic goals in relation to education programing, community engagement, and collections stewardship.
- Museums Empowered: This grant program supports projects that use professional development and training to generate systemic change within individual museums of all types and sizes. One of the four project categories for this program is Digital Technology
- National Leadership Grants for Museums: This grant program offers museums, universities, and nonprofits that serve the museum profession, an opportunity to take the lead on a high priority issue facing the museum field in the digital arena. Projects should address a need in the field and result in tools, resources, or findings that can be broadly used or adapted by others.
