Urban Institute to Investigate Public Funding Mechanisms for Museums
In a new cooperative agreement with the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Urban Institute will study the mechanisms of public support for museums in the United States and possible alternative funding methods. The goal of the research project is to identify: * the mechanisms currently used to deliver public funding to museums from federal and state governments in selected states; * the purposes for which state and federal public funds are allocated to museums in those states; * the impact of delivery mechanisms on the quality of services and possible service gaps left by those mechanisms; and * alternative funding models, such as a population-based state grant, and their potential impact on any identified gaps in museum services.
