MUSEUM AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

1. Expired 17 years, 51 weeks and 3 days ago

Museums are a vibrant force in our communities. They play an important role in helping people
experience and understand our world and in educating individuals of all ages. Recognizing the
important contributions and educational value of museums, MetLife Foundation has awarded
grants totaling over $25 million in recent years to museums across the country.
MetLife Foundation created the Museum and Community Connections program in 2007 with the
objective of strengthening communities, broadening programming and promoting museums as
centers of education without boundaries. The program awarded $1 million in grants during the
2007 funding cycle.
