Relates to the provision of financial assistance to museums, zoos, botanical gardens, aquariums and other cultural institutions located in low-income urban, suburban or rural communities

Summary

The bill adds a new section to New York’s arts and cultural affairs law that lets the Commissioner of Education award competitive grants to museums, zoos, botanical gardens, aquariums and other cultural organizations that serve low‑income urban, suburban or rural areas. Eligible nonprofits can receive money to develop curricula, hire specialized staff, buy technology, create exhibitions, run continuing‑education programs, and provide student transportation. The goal is to expand educational opportunities for K‑12 students and adult learners who lack access to these resources.
