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. This year’s National Leadership Grant recipients will generate new tools, research, models, services, practices, 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.”

- Anne-Imelda M. Radice, PhD, Director of the Institute
