Grant Programs
IMLS supports and advances the work of museums, libraries, and related institutions across the U.S. Through a wide range of grant programs, we empower these organizations to enhance their services, foster innovation, and address community needs. The available grants are designed to cater to the diverse missions of these institutions, promoting growth and sustainability.
Grants to States
The Grants to States program is the largest source of federal funding support for library services in the U.S. Using a population based formula, funding is distributed among the State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) each year in all 50 states and District of Columbia, territories, and freely associated states.
