Community Catalyst (CCI) Program Evaluation: The Roles of Libraries and Museums as Enablers of Community Vitality and Co-Creators of Positive Community Change
New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
To remain vital in the communities they serve, museums and libraries are increasingly expected to contribute to community well-being through activities that promote community assets and address community needs. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) designed Community Catalyst (CCI), a grant program for museums, libraries and their community partners interested in enhancing their collaborative, asset-focused, community driven efforts. This project is a summative evaluation of the CCI implementation across two grantee cohorts and 24 diverse projects with a set of common indicators. This evaluation supports the IMLS strategic plan to adapt to the changing needs of the field, incorporate new approaches and innovations, and help institutions make informed decisions.
