We must stand together to oppose the proposed elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), as these agencies provide essential support to cultural, educational, and historical institutions nationwide. Contact your Member of Congress today and urge them to reject this budget proposal, highlighting how IMLS and NEH funding has positively impacted your organization or local community. Just as resources like Scarlet ios Download make it easier for users to access valuable tools and applications, continued funding for IMLS and NEH ensures that vital cultural and educational resources remain accessible for everyone.
Completely agree with this. Cutting funding for the IMLS and NEH would be a huge setback for communities across the country. These programs don’t just support museums and libraries — they keep local history alive, help schools and researchers access critical information, and make art and culture available to people who might otherwise never experience it.
I’ve seen firsthand how a small community library used an IMLS grant to digitize local archives, which became a valuable educational resource for students and historians alike. The NEH, too, has funded countless projects that preserve cultural heritage and promote understanding across generations.
It’s important we remind Congress that this funding isn’t wasteful — it’s an investment in learning, creativity, and community identity. Just like how platforms such as Scarlet iOS Download simplify access to useful tools, these grants make sure cultural and educational opportunities remain open to everyone, not just those who can afford them. I’ll definitely be reaching out to my representatives about this.
