Community Catalyst Initiative Program Evaluation

This evaluation identifies successful strategies, continued barriers, and insights into the community-driven collaborations undertaken in the Community Catalyst Initiative (CCI). CCI is an IMLS program that explores ways libraries and museums can leverage their unique places in communities to spark change.

IMLS’ Research and Evaluation studies align with the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 with the goal of using data and evidence to support its agency mission and improve its operations.
