Abstract: The goal of IMLS Inspire! Grants for Small Museums (IGSM) is to support projects that strengthen the ability of small museums to serve their community. This new initiative will specifically support small museums by funding relevant activities that are clearly linked to an individual institution’s organizational priorities and broader community needs. IMLS Inspire! Grants for Small Museums is being offered as a special initiative with funding from the Museums for America Program. This action is to create the forms and instructions for the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the next three years. In this clearance submission (3137-0111) and justification, IMLS is requesting approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for FY2024 Inspire! Grants for Small Museums, a discretionary grant program that supports the Nation’s museums.
