| FEDERAL FORMULA GRANTS FOR MUSEUMS, PART I OF II |
Did you know that the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) provided $210.5 million for libraries in 2006, while museums received only $36.5 million? Why the difference? Federal formula grants given from IMLS directly to the states accounted for $163.7 million of IMLS's authorization. Museum workers, leaders, and supporters should know that there is a national advocacy effort underway to create a federal formula grant program for museums. This is Part I of a two-part series on federal formula grants for museums in CAM e-news to both inform and involve CAM's constituents.
In 1956, Congress wisely invested in America's libraries by creating a formula grant program. By providing federal funding and leveraging state and local funding, this program has built a strong and stable system of support for American libraries. Over time, this investment has enhanced professionalism, built programming, and helped our libraries keep up with technological change. With the reauthorization of IMLS in 2009, Congress has the opportunity to positively shape the future of the nation's museums by establishing a federal formula grant program for museums. A federal formula grant model for museums would:
A Congressional commitment to establishing a federal formula grant system for museums will be a vital step in recognizing and supporting the essential role of museums within the nation's cultural and educational infrastructure.

The presenter is Stephanie Weaver, a consultant to commercial and non-profit organizations on marketing, branding, and the customer experience.

| CALIFORNIA CULTURAL DATA PROJECT |
Beginning in January 2008, the Cultural Data Project will launch in California. The California Cultural Data Project (California CDP) is a state-wide collaborative effort and is the result of a unique partnership of public and private funders. The California CDP will provide a standardized online system for collecting historical financial and organizational data and will be used for grant applications to many of the participating funders throughout California. Organizations only need to complete a Data Profile (the online form used for collecting financial and other operational information) once each fiscal year. The California CDP will provide the cultural community with consistent and comprehensive data on arts and culture in the state and allow organizations to view reliable data about the cultural sector and enhance both the individual organizational capacity as well as the overall effectiveness of the nonprofit cultural community. Almost thirty granting agencies, from statewide organizations such as the James Irvine Foundation and the California Community Foundation to regional funders, will be participating in the California CDP. Important information sessions will be held across the state this Fall to provide you with an overview of the California CDP and how it will be used. The sessions will also demonstrate how cultural organizations can use the California CDP to view important trends and compare how they operate relative to their peers and the community at large. For registration information, see www.eventbrite.com/org/42656520?s=1 or call 1-866-9-CAL-CDP.

PENSION PROTECTION -- SOFTER LEGISLATION INTRODUCED
According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, two lawmakers plan to propose legislation to soften the sting of the new legislation, which was passed in 2006 as part of the Pension Protection Act. Rep. Tom Uball, Democrat of New Mexico, and Rep. Phil English, Republican of Pennsylvania, say the bill they will introduce this month would make it easier for donors to make fractional gifts of art to charity while also satisfying regulators who believe many donors had been receiving overly generous deductions for their gifts of art.
