Description

The Museum Grants for American Latino History and Culture (ALHC) program supports projects that build the capacity of American Latino history and culture museums to serve their communities and advance the growth and development of a professional workforce in American Latino cultural institutions. The program particularly welcomes projects and institutions that focus on the history of Hispanic Americans in America, from the nation's founding to the present day. It encourages applications from institutions serving rural and remote communities and those that have not traditionally received federal funding. The grants aim to preserve America's history, foster appreciation for cultural and historical narratives, and creatively use new technologies to improve museum experiences.
