The law includes several provisions that make supplemental appropriations to federal arts and cultural organizations. This CRS Insight provides an overview of these provisions and information, where relevant, on how arts and cultural organizations can apply for federal assistance through this funding. In addition to the resources below, arts and cultural organizations may be eligible for funding from the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program; for more information on that program, see CRS Insight IN 11324, CARES Act Assistance for Employers and Employees-The Paycheck Protection Program, Employee Retention Tax Credit, and Unemployment Insurance Benefits: Overview (Part 1). Institute of Museum and Library Services The institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) received $50 million through the CARES Act, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, including grants to States, territories and tribes to expand digital network access, purchase internet accessible devices, and provide technical support services. Of this total, $30 million was distributed to states, the District of Columbia, territories, and Freely Associated States through the Grants to States program. The program used the state allotment formula to distribute this funding to State Library Administrative Agencies. Another S 15 million of the total is to be distributed through two programs: IMLS CARES Act Grants for Museums and Libraries (S 13.8 million) and IMLS CARES Act Grants for Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum and Library Services (S 1.2 million). Although IMLS grants usually require matching funds, the CARES Act waived those requirements for any grants made available under the law. As of May 19, 2020, the IMLS has not announced how the remaining $5 million will be used. Libraries may inquire about the Grants to States funding through their State Library Administrative Agencies. Application information for the IMLS CARES Act Grants for Museum-s and Libraries and the IMLS CARES Act Grants for Native AmericanNative Hawaiian Museum and Library Services is available from IMLS.
