Inspire! has three project categories: • Lifelong Learning • Institutional Capacity • Collections Stewardship and Access For the FY2024 grant cycle, the IMLS invites applications that commemorate America’s 250th anniversary as part of the agency’s IMLS250: All Stories, All People, All Places initiative.
