Program Statement
National Leadership Grants help libraries and museums
collaborate, build digital resources, and conduct research
and demonstration projects. The selected projects are
national models that will help foster individual achievement,
community responsibility, and life-long learning.
Quote
"Cultural institutions energize their communities
by not just preserving culture, heritage, and knowledge,
but by supporting life-long learning and engagement. National
Leadership Grants harness the work of the best of these
institutions. By promoting innovation and partnerships,
they allow these institutions to create national models
that address the challenges of the broader library and
museum communities, and help strengthen their impact.”
