About the Federal Formula Grant Coalition
Service organizations representing museums at the state, regional, and national level have joined forces to seek reauthorizing legislation for IMLS in 2009 that includes federal formula grants for museums. OMA became a member of the Federal Formula Grant Coalition (FFGC) in February 2007.  Read More

What we need you to do to support this effort
The FFGC needs your support and action NOW. It is vital that Oklahoma museum leaders communicate with their U.S. representatives to inform them about the need for federal formula grants for museums and ask that they play a leadership role. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) serves on the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pension, which is the location of the IMLS reauthorization bill. The sooner FFGC can gain commitments from members of Congress, the stronger the chances will be of securing more federal funding for museums in America.  Please take a moment and send a letter of support by December 3.  Sample Letter and Case Statement
