What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy to Kazakhstan announces an open competition to implement an exchange program that aims to strengthen the capacity of museums and other institutions in Kazakhstan to research, interpret, and teach domestic and foreign audiences about their recent past and the social and cultural contributions of ethnic and religious minority communities. The program will bring museum and cultural heritage professionals from Kazakhstan on a three-week study tour to the United States, where they will meet and engage with their peers at various U.S. museums and cultural institutions and learn about innovative models for educational programming, outreach, and cultural diversity and accessibility practices. At the end of their U.S. exchange, program participants shall receive small grants for pilot projects at their home institutions, such as the improvement of mobile museum exhibitions, in order to engage audiences that have traditionally had limited access to museums and collections. Please follow all instructions in the NOFO document.
