Program Statement
The largest museum and library joint grant program administered
by IMLS, National Leadership Grants support projects that
will advance the ability of museums and libraries to preserve
culture, heritage, and knowledge while enhancing learning.

and alliances that will positively impact both the awarded
institution and the nation.
Quote
“Museums and libraries are trusted stewards of our
nation’s cultural heritage, and are an important
part of our education, community, and identity. The institutions
receiving National Leadership Grants have developed programs
that will elevate the museum and library practice, and
the Institute of Museum and Library Services is proud
to support their endeavors.”
