I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services is the primary source of federal
support for the nation’s approximately
120,000 libraries and 35,000 museums
and related organizations. Our mission
is to inspire libraries and museums to
advance innovation, lifelong learning,
and cultural and civic engagement. Our
grant making, policy development, and
research help libraries and museums
deliver valuable services that make it
possible for communities and
individuals to thrive. To learn more,
visit www.imls.gov.
II. Current Actions
Native Hawaiian grants are
competitive grants available to carry out
activities, described in 20 U.S.C. 9141,
that enhance existing library services or
implement new library services. Native
Hawaiian Library Services grants are
available to nonprofit organizations that
primarily serve and represent Native
Hawaiians (as the term is defined in 20
U.S.C. 7517). The term ‘‘Native
Hawaiian’’ refers to an individual who
is a citizen of the United States and a
descendant of the aboriginal people

who, before 1778, occupied and
exercised sovereignty in the area that
now comprises the State of Hawaii.
Successful Native Hawaiian grant
projects should result in measureable
changes and outcomes, such as
increased understanding, interest, and
confidence among participants.
Successful Native Hawaiian grant
projects support the activities described
in 20 U.S.C. 9141, for example:
• Support for individuals’ needs for
education, lifelong learning, workforce
development, and digital literacy skills;
• Improvement of the quality of and
access to library and information
services; and
• Enhancement of the skills of the
current library workforce and
leadership.
