$20 Million in Museum Grants Available
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources
has announced the next round of capital grants under the Illinois Public Museum
Capital Grants Program. Museums that are operated by townships and other units of
government are eligible for funding assistance under this grant program to
improve museum facilities and develop new exhibits.
The maximum grant award for qualifying projects is $750,000. Projects will
be reviewed solely on the merit of the application as presented; no changes to
the funding request will be initiated during the review process. The level of
local matching funds required for each project is based on the level of
attendance at the applicant museum during the preceding calendar year.
A total of $20 million will be awarded. The deadline to apply for this round of museum grants is 5:00 pm on Monday, February 3, 2014. Copies of the application forms and more information can
be obtained by contacting the Division of Grants, Illinois Department of
Natural Resources, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702-1271.
