America250MI Grant Portal | America250MI ... to the America250MI Grant Portal Round 1 History Grant Winners Round 2 History Grant Winners Thank you to everyone who applied in Rounds 1 and 2 of the America250MI History Grant Program.
We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary effort you invested in your grant applications—especially the thoughtful work aligned with the Five Guiding Themes and the strong, meaningful partnerships you built. We recognize how much time, care, and collaboration goes into developing proposals of this quality, and it truly showed in the submissions we received. This cycle was exceptionally competitive.
We were also thrilled to see the program’s reach expand so significantly—from 94 applicants in Round 1 to 240 in Round 2, more than doubling the applicant pool. That level of interest and dedication speaks volumes about the impact your history projects are having across Michigan, and we sincerely appreciate your passion and the important work you are doing to preserve and share Michigan’s stories.
We also want to share how much we valued the opportunity to learn from you. One of the most meaningful parts of this process was the time spent with applicants—hearing about your communities, your goals, your dreams, and the many ways you are bringing history to life. Whether or not your proposal was funded in either round, your work matters, and we are grateful you shared it with us.
As we revisit the Declaration, we are reminded that its message resonates as deeply now as it did in 1776. It is not an abstract statement, but a direct and uncompromising repudiation of tyranny, and a clear demand that power remain accountable to the people. It sets a standard for legitimate government and a responsibility we inherit.
As it declares, “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. ” It further affirms that “all men are created equal” and are endowed with “certain unalienable Rights,” including “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ” Thank you again for your dedication, your collaboration, and for the care you bring to this work every single day.
We are honored to have had the opportunity to learn from your efforts, and we look forward to continuing alongside you as Michigan carries these ideals forward for another 250 years.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
