About this opportunity

Museums Empowered: Professional Development Opportunities for Museum Staff is a special initiative of the Museums for America grant program, designed to support projects that use learning and training to generate change and growth within museums of all types and sizes.

Portfolio context — this listing covers more than this opportunity

This opportunity is funded under Assistance Listing 45.301 (“Museums for America”), a broad federal program that made about 185 new awards per year over the last five fiscal years (median award $153k). Those figures describe that whole portfolio — not this specific solicitation, so we don't show them as if they were this opportunity's track record.

Applicant counts per solicitation are not published by any federal agency — no one can honestly sell you that number.
