Description: The Sparks! Ignition Grants for Museums program is a special funding opportunity within the IMLS National Leadership Grants for Museums program.  These small grants encourage museums to prototype and evaluate specific innovations in the ways they operate and the services they provide.  Project results – be they success, failure, or a combination thereof – should offer valuable information to the museum field and the potential for improvement in the ways museums serve their communities.
