The Association joined with The Association of African American Museums, the Association of Science & Technology Centers, the Association of Children’s Museums, the American Institute for Conservation, the Association of Science Museum Directors, the Association of Art Museum Directors, the American Association of State and Local History, and the Association of Zoos & Aquariums in support of comments posted by the American Alliance of Museums regarding the proposed Uniform Guidance changes for federal grants released by the Office of Management and Budget.
“The American Alliance of Museums and the following organizations are writing regarding our concerns about OMB Docket OMB-2026-0034. Museums, zoos, science centers, children’s museums, public gardens, aquariums, historic sites and other vital organizations utilize federal grant programs to further their mission to educate the public, strengthen America’s leadership position in STEM education and innovation, showcase our culture, present art from across the country and around the world, and engage Americans with our shared history. If implemented, this proposed rule would limit access to critical programs at IMLS, NEA, NEH, NASA, NSF and more.”
