US Congressman Tom Reed (NY-23) announced a grant of $233,353 has been awarded to Sciencenter in Ithaca, New York through the Museums for America Program. The funding for the Museums for America program is disbursed through the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
"We care about ensuring our communities and children can benefit from enjoyable educational experiences such as the Sciencenter," said Tom. "With fair access to the funding they need, local museums like the Sciencenter can properly serve our communities and help support children's educational development. We were proud to fight for this funding and will continue to do so in the future."
"We're so excited to collaborate with Downtown Ithaca Children's Center and My Brother's Keeper Ithaca on this project," said Sciencenter Executive Director Michelle Kortenaar. "These kinds of partnerships have become even more important in times like these, as we look to maximize our impact and strengthen youth education and engagement in our community. We are hopeful that this project will allow us to build long-lasting partnerships with other youth-serving organizations."
