The American Alliance of Museums is currently accepting proposals for the Museums Connect: Building Global Communities international grant program. Funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by the Alliance, Museums Connect builds cultural understanding between people in the United States and abroad through collaborative and innovative projects facilitated by museums. Museums strengthen their connections with local and global audiences and create replicable models for international collaborations that reach beyond their physical walls to directly engage members of their communities. Museums Connect is offering grants of up to $100,000 to 10 partnerships between U.S. and non-U.S. museums for projects to be completed between August 2013-July 2014.

In the first phase of the proposal process (http://aam-us.org/museumsconnect/apply), museums submit a basic profile form and identify a partner museum. Many profiles of U.S. and non-U.S. museums have already been posted online for potential partners to review. After partnering, museums submit a statement of intent to propose, accepted on a rolling basis through Jan. 31. Final proposals are due on Apr. 8.
