Good morning,

Michigan Humanities is excited to announce a new initiative aimed at Michigan museums. The MI Museums program is a three-year grant and training initiative designed for Michigan museums with an annual operating budget of $250,000 or less. Ten sites will be selected and will work together as a cohort through the program.

We'd appreciate your assistance spreading the word to any museums in your communities that would be eligible for this program. I've attached a press release with more information, and you can also visit our website for program details, eligibility guidelines, and more.

Applications for this program are open June 9, 2026–August 13, 2026.

Thank you all for helping us spread the word! Please reach out with any questions.

Best,

Estee
