Program Overview
Museum professionals need high levels of knowledge and
expertise as they help create public value for the communities
they serve. The purpose of the 21st Century Museum Professionals
program is to increase the capacity of museums by improving
the knowledge and skills of museum professionals. 21st
Century Museum Professionals grants are intended to
have an impact upon multiple institutions by reaching
broad groups of museum professionals throughout a city,
county, state, region, or the nation.
Grants fund a broad range of activities,
including the development and implementation of classes,
seminars, and workshops; resources to support leadership
development; collection, assessment, development and/or
dissemination of information that leads to better museum
operations; activities that strengthen the use of contemporary
technology tools to deliver programs and services; support
for the enhancement of pre-professional training programs;
and organizational support for the development of internship
and fellowship programs.
Eligibility
Museums that fulfill the eligibility
criteria for museums may apply. Public or private
not-forprofit agencies, organizations or associations
that engage in activities designed to advance museums
and the museum profession may also apply. In addition,
institutions of higher education, including public and
nonprofit universities are eligible.
