Museum Loan Program
This is not a grant
Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation provides donated goods or services here, not funding. Nonprofits receive items or support directly rather than money, so there is no award to spend. If you're looking for cash funding, this program won't provide it.
About this program
The Foundation lends artworks from its collection to exhibitions and long-term loans in permanent exhibitions for organizations able to meet American Alliance of Museums guidelines. This is a direct-resource program rather than a cash grant.
Who can apply
Requests must advance the Foundation's mission, share innovative research and approaches in one of its collection areas, establish effective presentation and communications, and be submitted at least six months in advance. Borrowers must meet standard American Association of Museums guidelines; the Foundation does not loan to individuals.
