Every Monday I read every new US federal funding opportunity on Grants.gov and pull out the numbers that decide whether you apply: award range, total pot, match, deadline, eligibility. Editor of NOFO Weekly. Free sample issue in my pinned post.
This table came out of NOFO Weekly, a digest I write every Monday covering every new federal NOFO with the numbers pulled out. Issue #1 (67 opportunities, 10 picks for small teams) is free here: claude.ai/code/artifac...

Two museum programs need NO match this year: American Latino History & Culture ($5K to $500K, ~16 awards) and Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum Services ($5K to $250K, ~20). Tribal libraries: the Basic grants ($6K to $10K, ~170) are non-competitive.

Where to start if you've never held an IMLS grant: Inspire Grants for Small Museums. ~75 awards of $5K to $75K, written for small, rural and first-time institutions. Match is required, but in-kind counts.
