Legislative Agenda: Issues At a Glance

Museums—the vast majority of which are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations—play a key role in education, job creation, tourism, economic development, historic preservation, environmental conservation, and advancing scientific literacy and global competitiveness. Museums also have strong public support: a 2017 national public opinion poll, Museums and Public Opinion, showed that 95% of voters would approve of lawmakers who acted to support museums and 96% want federal funding for museums to be maintained or increased. The museum community—which includes aquariums, art museums, children’s museums, historic sites, history museums, maritime museums, military museums, natural history museums, planetariums, presidential libraries, public gardens, railway museums, science centers, and zoos—has worked together to develop this federal policy agenda.

Museums and the COVID-19 Pandemic

Museums across the country are struggling with the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey data shows that one out of every three museums may shutter permanently without immediate support—the loss of 12,000 museums and 124,000 jobs—and confirms the financial state of U.S. museums is moving from bad to worse. 30 percent of museums remain closed since the March 2020 lockdown and those that have reopened are operating on an average of 35 percent of their regular attendance—a reduction that is unsustainable long-term even with recent federal relief support. Like other nonprofits, museums are continuing to meet the needs of their communities despite the financial stress caused by the pandemic–from providing spaces for remote and virtual classrooms to providing lesson plans, online learning opportunities, and drop-off learning kits to teachers and families. Museums will be vital to the nation’s recovery and the recovery of communities, big and small, urban and rural, all across the country. We urge Congress to: • increase funding by at least $1.25 billion for the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Shuttered Venue Operators grants to ensure all who are eligible, including all eligible museums, can benefit. In addition, remove the eligibility requirement for “fixed seating” so more museums may benefit from this program. • support the common agenda put forward in a letter by the National Council of Nonprofits with nearly 3,000 signers from all 50 states, including AAM: - provide nonprofit-specific grants, forgivable loans, and refundable tax credits for all nonprofits, including museums, via a carveout or nonprofit-specific Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) relief that lifts the 500-employee cap and removes the 25% decline in gross receipts in the PPP second draw. We further request support for the updated WORK NOW Act and for emergency grants. - strengthen charitable giving incentives by increasing and extending the above-the-line deduction while preserving the itemized charitable contribution deduction, all to ensure that nonprofits, including museums, have the resources to serve their communities. - provide 100% unemployment benefit reimbursement to nonprofits that self-insure these benefits, both retroactively to 2020 and extended through the first three quarters of 2021. - provide substantial financial aid to state and local governments to avoid layoffs and cuts to essential programs and services, and to prevent the imposition by governments of new costs and burdens on their nonprofit partners. “Legislative Agenda: Issues At a Glance” - continued:

Institute of Museum and Library Services’ Office of Museum Services Funding

IMLS is the primary federal agency responsible for helping museums connect people to information and ideas. Its Office of Museum Services (OMS) awards grants to museums to support educating students, preserving and digitizing collections, and engaging communities. Grants are awarded in every state, but current funding has allowed the agency to fund only a small fraction of the highly rated grant applications it receives. OMS has provided critical leadership to the museum community through its administering of CARES Act grants for museums and by providing science-based information and recommended practices to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 to staff and visitors engaging in the delivery of museum services. In 2020, IMLS awarded $13.8 million in CARES Act grants to 68 museums and libraries to support their response to the coronavirus pandemic. IMLS received 1088 applications from museums but was only able to fund 39 awards, or 4 percent, for a total of $8.28 million. Congress has regularly reauthorized IMLS with broad bipartisan support, most recently in 2018. OMS has set a strong record of congressional support during the appropriations submission process in each of the last eight years, with 198 Representatives and 41 Senators signing the FY 2021 appropriations letters on its behalf. IMLS received $257 million in FY 2021 appropriations, of which $40.5 million went to OMS. We urge Congress to: • provide $80 million in fiscal year (FY) 2022 for the IMLS Office of Museum Services, an increase of nearly $40 million. • include in this increase $2.5 million to fund projects and to explore establishing a roadmap to strengthen the structural support for a museum Grants to States program to be administered by OMS, as authorized by the Museum and Library Services Act, 20 U.S.C. Section 9173(a)(4), in addition to the agency’s current direct grants to museums. • include legislative report language acknowledging the authority of OMS to allow grants to be used for general operating support and provide the Director of IMLS with the statutory authority to waive OMS matching requirements for FY 2022.

Tax Policy

Charitable giving is the lifeblood of museums of all sizes and disciplines; it accounts for more than one-third of their operating funds. We support efforts to extend and expand incentives for charitable giving. Limitations on these incentives could have a chilling effect on the ability of museums to attract donations needed to serve their communities and protect their collections. We urge Congress to: • expand and make permanent the universal charitable deduction, which was established on a limited and temporary basis in the CARES Act. It allows taxpayers to deduct charitable contributions regardless of whether they itemize. • extend the CARES Act provision that allows individuals to deduct up to 100 percent of their Adjusted Gross Income through charitable gifts. • support the Legacy IRA Act (S. 243), allowing seniors to make tax-free distributions to planned giving accounts as well as to charities. • exclude the charitable deduction from any proposals to reduce the value of itemized deductions. • support the Artist-Museum Partnership Act, allowing artists to get a tax deduction when they donate their own work to museums. “Legislative Agenda: Issues At a Glance” - continued:

National Endowment for the Humanities

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) provides direct grants to museums, universities, archives, and libraries in support of research, education, and preservation. Due to high demand and extremely limited funding, NEH is only able to fund a small percentage of the proposals it receives. The agency also provides annual grants to state humanities councils in every state and U.S. territory. NEH received $162.25 million in FY 2020 appropriations and $167.5 million in FY 2021 appropriations. • We urge Congress to provide $135 million in supplemental COVID-19 economic relief grants and at least $225 million in regular FY 2022 appropriations for the NEH.

National Endowment for the Arts

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) works to bring the arts to every community in America, including rural areas, military bases, and urban centers. It provides grants to all types of arts organizations—including museums— to exhibit, preserve, and interpret visual materials. The agency’s federal role is uniquely valuable: no other funder, public or private, funds the arts in every state and the U.S. territories. The NEA also distributes roughly forty percent of its grant funds to state arts agencies for re-granting. The NEA received $162.25 million in FY 2020 appropriations and $167.5 million in FY 2021 appropriations. • We urge Congress to provide $135 million in supplemental COVID-19 economic relief grants and at least $176 million in regular FY 2022 appropriations for the NEA.

Elementary and Secondary Education

Museums are vital education providers, educating students, providing professional development to teachers, and helping teach local curricula, which is especially critical during the COVID-19 pandemic. Museums represent one of the only educational system outside of our formal framework with the knowledge and people power to back up our teachers and parents on the front lines. Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (the “Every Student Succeeds Act”) provides states with significantly more flexibility in setting and meeting performance targets, which could make it easier for schools to work with museums. • We support efforts to promote school-museum partnerships (including museum schools), require greater collaboration between the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, fully fund federal education programs in which museums participate, and fully implement the “well-rounded education” provisions in the Every Student Succeeds Act, which include the many subject areas in which museums help teach the curricula. “Legislative Agenda: Issues At a Glance” - continued:

Higher Education

Median earnings for adults with a bachelor’s degree are approximately 64 percent higher than those with just a high school diploma, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet, student loan balances constitute the largest source of debt for American households. While many museum jobs require bachelor’s or even advanced degrees, nonprofit museum professionals often do not earn as much as they might in the private sector. Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) is a vital tool in allowing talented and highly trained employees from all socioeconomic backgrounds to work at organizations that make an impact in their community. Many museums benefit from Higher Education Act (HEA) program funding. • We support efforts to improve the affordability and accessibility of higher education for all students. We urge Congress to support and improve PSLF and sufficient income-driven repayment options for federal student loans and other student loan forgiveness efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also ask that Congress support funding for HEA programs in which museums participate, such as Title VI International and Foreign Language Education.

Lifelong STEM Engagement

Museums, science centers, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and other cultural institutions have an important role to play in increasing the understanding of and engagement with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among people of all ages. As museums are key partners in ensuring Americans’ lifelong engagement in STEM, we urge Congress to: • support federal agency efforts to implement the 5-year Federal STEM Education Strategic Plan; • fully fund and authorize museums to participate in STEM engagement and informal STEM education programs across federal science agencies; • fund the following programs at levels that meet or exceed inflation-adjusted levels from recent years: NSF’s Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program at $65 million, NOAA’s Office of Education at $35 million, NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement at $130 million and Science Mission Directorate’s Science Engagement and Partnerships Division at $47 million, and NIH’s Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) program at $22.5 million; and • regard museums as vital components of the STEM education ecosystem, including by ensuring that such organizations are eligible for relevant federal funding opportunities and represented at appropriate conversations convened by federal agencies. “Legislative Agenda: Issues At a Glance” - continued:

Historic Preservation

In addition to preserving and protecting more than 1 billion objects, many museums are historic themselves, and their collections are critical to telling our collective national story. Historic sites and historic preservation efforts not only protect our national heritage, they are also economic engines and job creators in the thousands of communities they serve. Minimal government funding helps to leverage significant private support, often through the Historic Tax Credit. The FY 2021 appropriations for the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) provided $55.7 million to State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs), $15 million to Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPOs), and $21.1 million for grants to underserved communities and to document, interpret, and preserve the stories and sites associated with the Civil Rights Movement. Save America’s Treasures (SAT) received $25 million in FY 2021 through the HPF and the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization grant program received $7.5 million. Congress also provided $8 million for the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission and $10 million for a National Park Service competitive grant program to honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S. by restoring and preserving state-owned sites and structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places that commemorate the founding of the nation. • We urge Congress to support FY 2022 funding of at least $55.7 million for SHPOs, $15 million for THPOs, $21.1 million for grants to underserved communities and civil rights sites, $25 million for Save America’s Treasures, $7.5 million for Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization grants and to co-sponsor the Historic Tax Credit Growth and Opportunity Act. We also urge Congress to support the legislative proposals recommended by the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission in its report to the President on the country’s 250th commemoration.

Public Diplomacy and the Protection of Cultural Property

As welcoming and trusted community anchors, museums are perfectly positioned to help build cross-cultural relationships, which are enhanced by collections that span the world across centuries. In recent years, irreplaceable cultural property has been lost in places like Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Mali, and Afghanistan. Protecting this property— both directly and by working through international organizations—is a vital part of United States diplomacy, showing the respect of the United States for other cultures and the common heritage of humanity. American museums and the conservation professionals who work with them are some of the world’s best at protecting and caring for cultural property. • We urge Congress to pursue measures that protect cultural property around the world, and to consider museums and conservation professionals as part of the solution to these issues. We expect the United States Government to comply with international law and urge the U.S. Government to maintain its commitment to its longstanding practice of not targeting cultural sites during peace or wartime. “Legislative Agenda: Issues At a Glance” - continued:

Shutdown Prevention and Economic Impact

Government shutdowns occur with some frequency; there have been 20 of them since 1976. During the 16-day shutdown in October 2013, hundreds of museums nationwide—as well as national parks, forests, monuments, and historic sites—were forced to close their doors. This prevented the public from enjoying artworks, historic treasures, and lands that are intended to be held in the public trust. The economic impact of these closures was devastating, not just for the entities themselves, but for many businesses that rely on the tourism they generate. The damage from the 35-day 2018-2019 partial government shutdown—the longest in U.S. history— was enormous and cost the government a total of $5 billion. The Smithsonian lost an estimated $3.4 million in revenue and the National parks lost more than $10 million in revenue. • We urge Congress to amend the Anti-Deficiency Act to allow for the continuity of operations and public access to our nation’s public lands and federally operated museums in the event of a funding gap.

The Multinational Species Conservation Funds and Wildlife Conservation

In addition to educating the public about wildlife, accredited zoos and aquariums also protect species in their collections and across their natural habitats. The Multinational Species Conservation Funds (MSCF) are targeted investments in global priority species such as African and Asian elephants, tigers, rhinos, great apes, tortoises, freshwater turtles, and marine turtles. The MSCF program helps to sustain wildlife populations by combating poaching, reducing human-wildlife conflict, and protecting essential habitats globally. Despite its modest funding level, this program has a significant impact because it consistently leverages almost a 2 to 1 match of federal dollars from partner governments, local NGOs, international conservation organizations, and private businesses. • We urge Congress to pass legislation to reauthorize the Multinational Species Conservation Funds Semipostal Stamp which benefits these critical programs. • The museum community, including botanical gardens, strongly supports efforts to protect native wildlife, including declining pollinator populations. Museums and the COVID-19 Pandemic

Request

We urge Congress to: • increase funding by at least $1.25 billion for the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Shuttered Venue Operators grants to ensure all who are eligible, including all eligible museums, can benefit. In addition, remove the eligibility requirement for “fixed seating” so more museums may benefit from this program. • provide nonprofit-specific grants, forgivable loans, and refundable tax credits for all nonprofits, including museums, via a carve-out or nonprofit-specific Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) relief that lifts the 500-employee cap and removes the 25% decline in gross receipts in the PPP second draw. We further request support for the updated WORK NOW Act and for emergency grants. • strengthen charitable giving incentives by increasing and extending the above-the-line deduction while preserving the itemized charitable contribution deduction, all to ensure that nonprofits, including museums, have the resources to serve their communities. • provide 100% unemployment benefit reimbursement to nonprofits that self-insure these benefits, both retroactively to 2020 and extended through the first three quarters of 2021. • provide substantial financial aid to state and local governments to avoid layoffs and cuts to essential programs and services, and to prevent the imposition by governments of new costs and burdens on their nonprofit partners, including museums.

Talking Points:

• Museums across the country are struggling with the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. • Survey data shows that one out of every three museums may shutter permanently without immediate support—the loss of 12,000 museums and 124,000 jobs—and confirms the financial state of U.S. museums is moving from bad to worse. • 30 percent of museums remain closed since the March 2020 lockdown and those that have reopened are operating on an average of 35 percent of their regular attendance—a reduction that is unsustainable long- term even with recent federal relief support. • Like other nonprofits, museums are continuing to meet the needs of their communities despite the financial stress caused by the pandemic–from providing spaces for remote and virtual classrooms to providing lesson plans, online learning opportunities, and drop-off learning kits to teachers and families. • Without a funding increase for the $15 billion SBA Shuttered Venue Operators (SVO) grant program, it is widely expected that funds will run out. “Museums and the COVID-19 Pandemic” - continued:

• The Shuttered Venue Operators grant program eligibility requirement that a museum have at least one auditorium, theater, or performance or lecture hall with “fixed audience seating” and regular programming disqualifies many museums, preventing them from benefiting from this important relief program. • We support the common agenda put forward in a letter by the National Council of Nonprofits: easier access to PPP for nonprofits, increased federal reimbursement for nonprofits that self-insure for unemployment, tax incentives for charitable giving, and state and local government aid. The letter with nearly 3,000 signers from all 50 states, including AAM, provides additional detail on these issues. • The letter asks that Congress and the Biden Administration recognize the unique role of charitable nonprofits, including museums, in providing pandemic relief and economic recovery by enacting a package of solutions tailored to the actual needs and realities of these organizations that are devoted to serving the public good. • Without this immediate relief from Congress and the Administration, charitable organizations will not have the capacity or resources to be the backbone of communities upon which the American people rely. • As the letter states, charitable nonprofits face unprecedented challenges in 2021 as they help to drive pandemic relief and economic recovery for our nation’s communities. • We ask that all Representatives and Senators come together in supporting this package of relief proposals in the next stimulus and relief legislation so that our museums can be the force for good and unity that our nation’s communities want and need us to be at this time of great national struggle.

Status

Congress currently is drafting legislation for the next round of COVID-19 economic aid which is expected to pass by early-to-mid March.

Additional Museum Talking Points

• Museums are a robust and diverse business sector, including African American museums, aquariums, arboreta, art museums, botanic gardens, children’s museums, culturally-specific museums, historic sites, historical societies, history museums, maritime museums, military museums, natural history museums, planetariums, presidential libraries, public gardens, railway museums, science and technology centers, and zoos.

• Museums are economic engines. Economic impact data compiled by the American Alliance of Museums and Oxford Economics shows that, pre-pandemic, the museum economy contributes $50 billion a year to the U.S. economy and generates $12 billion in tax revenue to local, state, and federal governments. “Museums and the COVID-19 Pandemic” - continued:

• Museums are vital local sources of employment, pre-pandemic, supporting 726,000 direct and indirect jobs annually. Museums play an essential role in the nation’s educational infrastructure, spending more than $2 billion a year on education. The destabilizing effects of the current crisis place the future of these contributions to the U.S. economy and education system at great risk. If these businesses fail during this crisis, then there will be no jobs to which many thousands of displaced workers can return.

• Closures and canceled events have been devastating. Most nonprofit museums rely on earned income for at least half of their revenue; their economic lifeblood is people visiting. Dramatic closures and stay-at-home orders have had a devastating impact on the nonprofit museum community, which operates on thin margins of financial sustainability, without large designated operational reserve funds or access to tax-relief benefits, and is often largely dependent on earned revenue from visitors passing through their doors.

• Furloughs and layoffs among museum personnel are increasing. As employers, museums care deeply about the welfare, health, and financial stability of hard-working staff, and are concerned that increasing unemployment among museum personnel may exacerbate broader community issues of lack of access to health care, food insecurity, and even homelessness that will make the COVID-19 response much more challenging. The Paycheck Protection Program has been a lifeline for many museums and their employees.

• Museums have impressive support from the public. According to a national public opinion polling, 96% of Americans would think positively of their elected officials taking legislative action to support museums, regardless of political persuasion or community size. 97% of Americans believe that museums are educational assets, and 89% believe that museums contribute important economic benefits to their community. Museums are also the most trusted source of information in America, rated higher than local papers, nonprofit researchers, the U.S. government, or academic researchers. Museums can leverage this high level of public trust to provide education on COVID-19 and fight misinformation about its spread and about vaccines. By empowering the public with the information they need to make informed decisions and lower their risk of contracting or spreading disease, museums can help sustain healthy communities, maintain calm, and reduce the chances for an increase in discrimination or xenophobia often created by global diseases. “Museums and the COVID-19 Pandemic” - continued:

• Even as museums are experiencing closures and significant losses in revenue, they are meeting an increase in demand for their services and safeguarding and supporting their communities. They are contributing to the ongoing education of our country’s children by providing lesson plans, online learning opportunities, and drop-off learning kits to teachers and families. They are using their outdoor spaces to grow and donate produce to area food banks; and maintaining these spaces for individuals to safely relax, enjoy nature, and recover from the mental health impacts of social isolation. They have donated their PPE and scientific equipment to fight COVID-19, and provided access to childcare and meals to families of health care workers and first responders. In the midst of financial distress, they are even raising funds for community relief. Museums are pivotal to our nation’s ability to manage through the pandemic and recover from it as our country opens back up. • Museums are community anchors, addressing challenges in times of crisis like the one we are currently experiencing. Unfortunately, we expect hardships to be faced by increasing numbers of museums in communities across the country in the months ahead underscoring the need for continued economic relief to enable them to serve the public now and in the future. IMLS Office of Museum Services Funding

Request

We urge Congress to: IMLS Office of Museum Services • provide $80 million in fiscal year (FY) 2022 for the IMLS Office of Museum Services, an increase of nearly $40 million. Funding History

• include in this increase $2.5 million to fund projects and to explore Appropriation establishing a roadmap to strengthen the structural support for a (in millions) museum Grants to States program administered by OMS, as authorized by the Museum and Library Services Act, 20 U.S.C. Section 9173(a)(4), in addition to the agency’s current direct grants to museums. FY 11 $31.6 • include legislative report language acknowledging the authority of OMS FY 12 $30.9 to allow grants to be used for general operating support and provide the Director of IMLS with the statutory authority to waive OMS matching FY 13 CR* $30.9 requirements for FY 2022. FY 14 $30.1

Introduction FY 15 $31.1 The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is the primary federal FY 16 $31.3 agency responsible for helping museums connect people to information and ideas. Its Office of Museum Services (OMS) supports all types of museums— FY 17 $31.7 including aquariums, arboretums, art museums, botanical gardens, children’s FY 18 $34.7 museums, culturally-specific museums, historic sites, history museums, military museums, natural history museums, nature centers, planetariums, railway FY 19 $34.7 museums, science and technology centers, zoos, and more—by awarding grants that help them educate students, preserve and digitize collections, and connect FY 20 $38.5 with their communities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, OMS has provided FY 21 $40.5 critical leadership to the museum community through its CARES Act grants. For example, the agency has been providing science-based information and FY 22 TBD recommended practices to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 to staff President’s and visitors engaging in the delivery of museum services. The 2018-2022 IMLS Request strategic plan focuses on promoting lifelong learning, strengthening the capacity of museums to serve their communities, increasing access to information and ideas, and strategically aligning resources to maximize public value.

*In FY 2013, across-the-board sequestration cuts reduced OMS’ effective funding to $29.2 million. “IMLS Office of Museum Services Funding” - continued:

Status

• The Office of Museum Services within IMLS is funded through the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. It is currently funded at $40.5 million for FY 2021. • IMLS awarded $13.8 million through the IMLS CARES Act Grants to Museums and Libraries to 68 museums and libraries to support their response to the coronavirus pandemic. IMLS received 1088 applications from museums but was only able to fund 39 awards or 4 percent for a total of $8.28 million. • IMLS also awarded $1.2 million in IMLS CARES Act Grants to 15 organizations to fund projects assisting Native American tribes and Native Hawaiian serving organizations through their cultural centers and tribal libraries to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

Talking Points

• The Institute of Museum and Library Services has strong bipartisan support, and has been lauded for its peer-reviewed, highly competitive grant programs. • OMS has set a strong record of congressional support during the appropriations submission process in each of the last seven years, with 198 Representatives and 41 Senators signing FY 2021 appropriations letters on its behalf. • In FY 2020, Congress provided $252 million to IMLS, of which $38.5 million was directed to the Office of Museum Services. With this funding, OMS provided 252 grants totaling $38,514,040 to museums and related organizations in 46 states and the District of Columbia. • By leveraging significant private, state, and local funding, OMS grants amplify a small federal investment for maximum impact in the community. • There is high demand for funding from the IMLS Office of Museum Services. In FY 2020 OMS received 784 applications requesting nearly $146 million, but current funding has allowed the agency to fund only a small fraction of the highly rated grant applications it receives. • $80 million would allow OMS to double its grant capacity for museums, funds which museums will need to help recover from the pandemic and continue to serve their communities. This substantial funding increase would still be greatly shy of the high demand of $146 million in FY 2020 in highly rated grant applications the agency received. • A Grants to States program administered by OMS, in addition to the agency’s current direct grants to museums, would merge federal priorities with state-defined needs and expand the reach of museums and increase their ability to serve their communities, address underserved populations and meet the needs of the current and future museum workforce. “IMLS Office of Museum Services Funding” - continued:

• The Inspire! Grants for Small Museums program, designed to encourage small institutions to apply for IMLS funding, generated 230 applications in FY 2020 (an increase of 14% from FY19). IMLS was able to double the number of awards to 60 through this program, demonstrating a continuing need for support for the nation’s small museums. • Prior to the pandemic, museum attendance was increasing, subjecting collections to additional risk and thereby increasing the demand for professional development in conservation, education, and technology. • In 2014, IMLS launched Museums for All, a national access initiative. Today, 622 participating museums in 50 states, DC, and the U.S. Virgin Islands offer deeply discounted admission to visitors who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The program has reached over 2.9 million visitors. • In 2018, legislation reauthorizing IMLS passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support by unanimous consent in the Senate and by a vote of 331 to 28 in the House, showing Congress’ renewed support for the agency’s programs and a renewed commitment to its funding. • To learn more about grants awarded to museums in your state or district, visit: imls.gov/grants/ awarded-grants.

Additional Information About Museums

• Museums across the country are struggling with the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey data shows that one out of every three museums may shutter permanently without immediate support—the loss of 12,000 museums and 124,000 jobs—and confirms the financial state of U.S. museums is moving from bad to worse. • 30 percent of museums remain closed since the March 2020 lockdown and those that have reopened are operating on an average of 35 percent of their regular attendance—a reduction that is unsustainable long-term even with recent federal relief support. • Like other nonprofits, museums are continuing to meet the needs of their communities despite the financial stress caused by the pandemic–from providing spaces for remote and virtual classrooms to providing lesson plans, online learning opportunities, and drop-off learning kits to teachers and families. Museums will be vital to the nation’s recovery and the recovery of communities, big and small, urban and rural, all across the country. • Museums are economic engines, prior to the pandemic, supporting more than 726,000 jobs and contributing $50 billion to the U.S. economy per year. They attract tourists, promote economic development, and make communities more desirable for employers. • Museums’ economic impact generates $12 billion in tax revenue at all levels of government. “IMLS Office of Museum Services Funding” - continued:

• Museums have strong public support: Museums and Public Opinion, a 2017 national public opinion poll, showed that 95% of voters would approve of lawmakers who acted to support museums and 96% want federal funding for museums to be maintained or increased. • Museums are an essential part of the nation’s educational infrastructure, spending more than $2 billion a year on education and promoting lifelong learning. • Museums receive more than 55 million visits each year from student groups. • Children who visited a museum during kindergarten had higher achievement scores in reading, mathematics, and science in third grade than children who did not. • Museums are beloved community anchors, attracting over a million volunteer hours every week, prior to the pandemic. • Many museums have developed innovative programs to meet the growing needs of their individual communities. For example, some museums have programs designed specifically for children with special needs and their families, some work with medical schools to teach observation and description skills, and some are helping veterans heal from their wounds, both physical and psychological. DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT FY 2022 House of Representatives OMS Sign-on Letter

Dear Chairwoman DeLauro and Ranking Member Cole,

We write to thank the Subcommittee for its previous support, and to urge you to support robust funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ (IMLS) Office of Museum Services (OMS) in the FY 2022 Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations bill.

Museums across the country are struggling with the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey data shows that one out of every three museums may shutter permanently without immediate support—a loss of 12,000 museums and 124,000 jobs— and confirms the financial state of U.S. museums is moving from bad to worse. 30 percent of museums remain closed since the March 2020 lockdown and those that have reopened are operating on an average of 35 percent of their regular attendance, a reduction that is unsustainable long-term even with recent federal relief support. Like other nonprofits, museums are suffering yet continue to work to meet the needs of their communities. From accommodating spaces for remote and virtual classrooms to providing lesson plans, online learning opportunities, and drop-off learning kits to teachers and families, museums are stable oases in the midst of turmoil.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, OMS has provided critical leadership to the museum community through its CARES Act grants for museums and the REopening Archives, Libraries and Museums (REALM) project. The REALM project is a research partnership between OCLC, IMLS-OMS, and Battelle to create and distribute science-based information and recommended practices designed to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 to staff and visitors who are engaging in the delivery or use of museum services.

Despite its small size, the IMLS Office of Museum Services is the largest dedicated source of investment in our nation’s museums, which pre-COVID-19 supported over 700,000 jobs and contributed $50 billion annually to the U.S. economy. OMS funding plays a significant role in this economic impact by helping museums reach more visitors and spur community development. In addition to their economic benefits, OMS grants also support museums’ advancements in areas such as public health upgrades, technology, lifelong community learning, and conservation and preservation. These successes notwithstanding, only a small fraction of the nation’s museums are currently being reached and many highly rated grant applications go unfunded.

Museums will be vital to the nation’s recovery and the recovery of communities, big and small, urban and rural, all across the country. At a time when school and community resources are strained, museums are working overtime to fill the gaps. Pre- COVID-19, they welcomed annually more than 55 million schoolchildren, bringing art, science, and cultural heritage into communities, and partnered with other nonprofits to meet the specific needs of their local population. In addition, our nation’s museums opened their doors to more people than ever with over 850 million visits each year—with many of these visitors offered free or reduced admission. Museums are also part of a robust nonprofit community working to address a wide range of our nation’s greatest challenges, from conducting medical research and helping veterans heal physically and psychologically, to creating energy efficient public buildings and collecting food for needy families.

Congress reauthorized IMLS in late 2018 by enacting the Museum and Library Services Act of 2018 (Public Law No: 115-410). This legislation was passed with widespread bipartisan support by unanimous consent in the Senate and by a vote of 331 to 28 in the House, showing Congress’ bipartisan support for the agency’s programs and a commitment to its funding. The agency is highly accountable, and its competitive, peer-reviewed grants leverage significant private resources while supporting museums in every state.

We urge the Subcommittee to support robust funding for the IMLS Office of Museum Services for FY 2022 to support the important work museums do in our districts. This vital funding will aid museums of all types and enable them to bolster economic recovery, serve our schools and communities, and preserve our cultural heritage for future generations. Again, we appreciate the Subcommittee’s prior support for OMS and request this investment to strengthen and sustain the work of our nation’s museums.

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

FY 2022 Senate OMS Sign-on Letter

Dear Chairwoman Murray and Ranking Member Blunt:

We write to thank the Subcommittee for its previous support, and to urge you to support robust funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ (IMLS) Office of Museum Services (OMS) in the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations bill.

Museums across the country are struggling with the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey data shows that one out of every three museums may shutter permanently without immediate support. This would amount to the loss of 12,000 museums and 124,000 jobs. 30 percent of museums remain closed since the March 2020 lockdown and those that have reopened are operating on an average of 35 percent of their regular attendance—a reduction that is unsustainable. Despite these challenges, museums continue to meet the needs of their communities—from providing spaces for remote classrooms to providing lesson plans, online learning opportunities, and learning kits for teachers and families. OMS has provided critical leadership to the museum community through administering CARES Act grants and providing science-based information and recommended practices to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 to staff and visitors engaging in the delivery of museum services.

Despite its small size, the IMLS Office of Museum Services is the largest dedicated source of investment in our nation’s museums, which typically support more than 700,000 jobs and contribute $50 billion annually to the U.S. economy. OMS funding plays a significant role in this economic impact by helping museums reach more visitors and spur community development. In addition to their economic benefits, OMS grants support museums’ advancements in areas such as public health upgrades, technology, lifelong community learning, and conservation and preservation. These successes notwithstanding, only a small fraction of the nation’s museums are currently being reached and many highly rated grant applications go unfunded.

Museums will be vital to the recovery of communities, big and small, urban and rural, all across the country. The demand for museum services will be greater than ever. At a time when school and community resources are strained, museums are working overtime to fill the gaps. In normal times, museums welcome annually more than 55 million schoolchildren, bring art, science and cultural heritage into communities, and partner with other nonprofits to meet the specific needs of their local population. Prior to the pandemic, museums opened their doors to more people than ever with over 850 million visits each year – with many of these visitors offered free or reduced admission. Museums are also working to address a wide range of our nation’s greatest challenges. For example, some museums are conducting medical research and creating energy efficient public buildings, while others are helping veterans heal physically and psychologically and collecting food for needy families.

Congress reauthorized IMLS in late 2018 by enacting the Museum and Library Services Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-410). This legislation passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and by a wide margin of 331 to 28 in the House, showing Congress’ renewed bipartisan support for the agency’s programs and its commitment to providing funding. The agency is highly accountable, and its competitive, peer-reviewed grants leverage significant private resources while supporting museums in every state.

We urge the Subcommittee to support robust funding for the IMLS Office of Museum Services for FY 2022 to support the important work museums do in our districts. This vital funding will aid museums of all types and enable them to bolster economic recovery and continue to serve our schools and communities, and preserve our cultural heritage for future generations.

Again, we appreciate the Subcommittee’s prior support for OMS and request this investment to strengthen and sustain the work of our nation’s museums.

Request

We urge members of the House and Senate to: • expand and make permanent the universal charitable deduction, which was established on a limited and temporary basis in the CARES Act. It allows taxpayers to deduct charitable contributions regardless of whether they itemize. • extend the CARES Act provision that allows individuals to deduct up to 100 percent of their Adjusted Gross Income through charitable gifts. • support the Legacy IRA Act (S. 243), allowing seniors to make tax-free distributions to planned giving accounts as well as to charities. • exclude the charitable deduction from any proposals to reduce the value of itemized deductions. • support the Artist-Museum Partnership Act, allowing artists to get a tax deduction when they donate their own work to museums.

Introduction

Contributions to 501(c)(3) charities such as museums, social service, education, faith-based, and many other organizations, are tax-deductible, incentivizing Americans to greater generosity. With the recent doubling of the standard deduction, however, only about ten percent of taxpayers now itemize deductions, and multiple measures show that both the amount given and the number of donors had declined prior to the pandemic. Giving appears to have increased during the pandemic, especially smaller gifts, due in part to the CARES Act provision that allows people to deduct up to $300 of charitable gifts even if they do not itemize.

Deductibility of Charitable Gifts

• Charitable giving accounts for more than one-third of museums’ operating funds. • The Giving USA 2019 report found that charitable giving by individuals dropped an inflation-adjusted 3.4 percent in 2018, despite a growing economy. According to the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, fundraising plunged further during 2019, with the amount given having decreased by 4.6 percent and the number of donors down 3.6 percent compared to 2018. It was unprecedented for such drops to occur during a time of economic growth. • The CARES Act established a limited and temporary deduction for non-itemizers. • The most recent report from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project shows overall charitable giving increased 7.6 percent during the first nine months of 2020 compared to 2019, and that the largest increase “Tax Policy” - continued:

in gifts came from donors giving $250 or less, which grew by 17.1 percent. Although it’s not uncommon to see an increase in giving during times of increased need, conventional wisdom suggests the economic challenges would have caused donors to pause their giving. However, we’ve seen just the opposite. People give for altruistic reasons, but tax policy affects the size and timing of their gifts. • A universal charitable deduction democratizes giving by incentivizing *all* taxpayers to contribute, regardless of income.

IRA Charitable Rollover

• Individuals aged 70.5 and above may contribute up to $100,000 from their IRA accounts to charity, counting it toward their required distribution but not paying tax on it. The Legacy IRA Act would expand this provision by allowing gifts to planned giving accounts, raising the cap to $400,000, and lowering the age to 65.

Protecting the full value of the charitable deduction

• There have been numerous proposals in the past decade to raise revenue by limiting how much people can deduct. For example, the Obama administration proposed a maximum deduction rate of 28 percent, regardless of tax bracket. Under this regimen, people in the 35 percent bracket who donate $1,000 would save $280 on taxes, rather than $350. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney proposed capping the amount that people could deduct. Because charity is discretionary, individuals could preserve their net income level by simply giving less. In effect, the government would take funds that would otherwise go to charity. • We request that any such proposals in the future exclude charity from the deductions to be limited or capped.

Artist-Museum Partnership Act

• Artists are currently not allowed to claim a tax deduction when they give their own work to a museum, whereas anybody who buys the work and donates gets to claim a deduction for its fair market value. The Artist-Museum Partnership Act would remedy this situation, correcting an inequity in the tax code while also stimulating gifts to our nation’s museums.

Status

• It is expected that there will be stand-alone, bipartisan legislation in both the House and the Senate to expand the universal charitable deduction and make it permanent. • The House Ways and Means Committee is expected to incorporate a version of the Legacy IRA Act into a broader retirement package. In the Senate, Sens. Stabenow (D-MI) and Cramer (R-ND) introduced a stand- alone bill, S. 243. • Given the nonpartisan nature of the issue, and given the explosion of the deficit, we expect new proposals to limit or reduce itemized deductions will be made, whether by the Biden-Harris administration, Congress, or both. • Former Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) authored the Artist-Museum Partnership in the past Congress. We hope another member will reintroduce it going forward.

RE: 2021 COVID Relief and Charitable Nonprofits

Dear Mr. President, Speaker Pelosi, and Leaders Schumer, McCarthy, and McConnell:

At this time of a worldwide pandemic, economic uncertainty, and national turmoil, there can be little doubt that America desperately needs leadership, unity, and aggressive actions to overcome these and many other challenges. The undersigned charitable nonprofit organizations take this opportunity to identify the unique challenges charitable organizations continue to face and seek your support for urgently needed relief in forthcoming COVID legislation that will enable charitable organizations to contribute to our nation’s relief, recovery, and rebuilding.

We deeply appreciate the relief enacted in 2020; many of the people and communities we serve would have suffered even more greatly during the pandemic and economic crises if you had not acted. In particular, we are grateful that Congress included charitable nonprofits in the Families First Act, the CARES Act, and the year- end COVID relief law. However, we note that those Acts often did so by inserting nonprofits into existing or predetermined programs designed for for-profit businesses that face very different challenges. As we continue to partner with government to help defeat the virus and restart the economy, we urge you to consider specific, dedicated policy solutions that will enable nonprofits to help rebuild our communities.

Policymakers at all levels of government continue to depend on nonprofits serving their communities through the depths of the pandemic and economic downturn. The assumption that nonprofits will always be there to fill the gaps, however, is at grave risk nearly one year into these crises. Nonprofits employ more people than the financial, construction, and even manufacturing industries, and the charitable sector has suffered as much or more than the various industries that have sought special treatment or bailouts.

Charitable nonprofits have risen to the crises our nation is enduring. They are stretching beyond all reasonable measures and continue to advance their missions despite unfathomable challenges. Most charitable organizations did not shut down or sit out the pandemic. The miles-long lines at food banks are only the most glaring and obvious proof that the demand for nonprofit services has skyrocketed. Other tragic examples abound. Calls for domestic violence services jumped by 69 percent between March and August last year. Nonprofits helping homeless people did not close their doors to wait out the pandemic; rather, new services, protocols, and expenses became necessary. Nonprofit health organizations have provided trusted, up-to-date Nonprofit Community Letter on COVID Relief and Economic Stimulus Updated February 8, 2021 Page 2 information about the pandemic and ways to protect health and continued critical research. Cultural institutions continued to have structural costs while adapting to a virtual reality by developing programming to provide solace, education, and connection to those who were isolated. Community and afterschool facilities that could not be used during shutdown periods for their original purposes were adapted to other urgent needs, such as food preparation and distribution, childcare for the children of essential workers, and more.

We anticipate that 2021 will be even more devastating to the work of nonprofits. The pre-pandemic nonprofit workforce of 12.3 million dedicated employees has lost nearly 930,000 nonprofit jobs, including 51,000 in December 2020, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Those lost jobs mean there are nearly a million fewer people providing services on which their fellow Americans depend. The rapidly rising COVID-19 infection rates presage even greater nonprofit unemployment and public need in the months ahead. Similarly, nonprofit revenues are likely to decline sharply in 2021 as individuals are less able to make charitable donations and state and local governments make draconian spending cuts to human services and other programs frequently performed by charitable nonprofits. Without immediate relief from Congress and the Administration, charitable organizations will not have the capacity or resources to be the backbone of communities upon which the American people rely.

Therefore, it is important for Congress and the Administration to recognize the unique role of charitable nonprofits in providing pandemic relief and economic recovery by enacting a package of relief solutions tailored to the actual needs and realities of these organizations that, like you, are devoted to serving the public good. We ask that the next COVID relief law include the following:

1) Provide Nonprofit-Specific Grants, Forgivable Loans, and Refundable Tax Credits for All Nonprofits: While some nonprofits were able to participate in some of the relief programs established in 2020, many of those programs were designed primarily for for-profit businesses and excluded too many charitable organizations that are providing essential services. Nonprofits with more than 500 employees have not been eligible for PPP or other grants or forgivable loans. Restrictions based on previous employee size and gross-receipts declines in the Paycheck Protection Program and the Employee Retention Tax Credit do not make sense in the nonprofit context. Nonprofits frequently employ large numbers of part-time employees and, unlike for-profit businesses, demand for nonprofit services and the resulting costs of operating during a pandemic have far exceeded normal levels, without a similar increase in revenues to keep pace. Indeed, nonprofits are frequently asked to provide additional services without corresponding increases in resources. Further, it is a fundamental feature of nonprofit economics that nonprofit boards are averse to taking on loans to cover operating expenses, thus making suggestions of low-cost loans unpalatable to the vast majority of frontline organizations. We urge Congress and the Administration to establish grant and funding programs, such as a nonprofit Paycheck Protection Program that would provide forgivable loans to nonprofits of all sizes and without regard to gross receipts, as well as a grants program such as the proposed WORK NOW Act to help nonprofits retain employees, scale service delivery to meet growing needs, and create new jobs. We further ask that Congress appropriate funds for emergency grant programs that enable nonprofits to advance their missions of serving communities.

2) Strengthen Charitable Giving Incentives: The CARES Act established a limited, yet important above-the- line deduction that encourages all taxpayers to donate to the work of charitable organizations. In extending this provision as part of the year-end COVID relief law, Congress acknowledged that tax policy will continue to be an important incentive to help every American support pandemic relief and recovery. We know that greater incentives are needed in 2021 as nonprofits respond to the growing health and economic crises and will be critical in the future as nonprofits play an essential role in recovery efforts when the pandemic ends. Further, tax reforms must recognize that limits to existing Nonprofit Community Letter on COVID Relief and Economic Stimulus Updated February 8, 2021 Page 3

giving incentives would have the unintended consequence of undermining the charitable sector upon which governments rely and would result in increased costs for governments if they had to replace nonprofit services. We urge Congress and the Administration to significantly increase the cap on the above-the-line deduction, extend it at least through 2022, and preserve the itemized charitable contribution deduction, all to ensure that nonprofits can serve their communities.

3) Provide Full Unemployment Benefit Reimbursement to nonprofits that self-insure these benefits. Federal and state laws give nonprofits the option of operating as self-insured (“reimbursing”) employers that make payments to their state unemployment insurance systems for benefits attributable to them in lieu of making advance contributions. Shut-down orders by government officials and program cancellations have forced nonprofits to furlough or layoff staff, triggering immediate, catastrophic bills for unemployment costs that for-profit businesses have not had to pay during the worst stages of the pandemic and economic downturn. These challenges have exacerbated cash flow difficulties for nonprofits that have forced nonprofits to not only divert valuable funds from mission services, but also, ironically, to layoff more employees to have resources to pay their state’s unemployment bills. We urge Congress and the Administration to increase the federal unemployment insurance reimbursement for self-insured or reimbursing nonprofits to 100% of costs retroactively to 2020 and extend the relief through the first three quarters of 2021.

4) Provide Aid to States and Local Governments: Charitable organizations endorse providing substantial federal aid to state and local governments to help cover lost revenues during the pandemic. Such aid is required to avoid layoffs and cuts to essential programs and services. In the past, when governments have faced fiscal challenges, too many have sought to impose new costs and burdens on their nonprofit partners, and, as one state has already done, unilaterally reduced payments to nonprofits for services already performed for the government pursuant to written agreements. We urge Congress and the Administration to provide emergency assistance to state and local governments for the wellbeing of our communities.

The charitable nonprofit sector is the backbone of our communities. We face unprecedented challenges in 2021 as we assist you and the American people in providing pandemic relief and economic recovery. We ask you to come together in supporting this package of relief proposals in the next stimulus and relief legislation so that our organizations can be the force for good that you want and need us to be at this time of great national struggle. We stand ready to assist in advocating for additional relief and in strengthening our country together.
