Institute of Museum and Library Services FY2024 obligations

USAspending.gov records $494,673,636.55 in Institute of Museum and Library Services obligations for fiscal year 2024. That figure is a yearlyTrend amount for awarding agency 474, not an outlay and not a museum-attendance ranking, a library-card census, or a holdings count. FY2024 obligations of $494,673,636.55 are about 59.6% of the agency’s $829,811,437.75 all-year obligation total in this extract. The agency table lists 2,168 awards across the extract; that count is not limited to FY2024 on this packet.

IMLS agency 474 meeting fiscal year 2024

This page is a join: Institute of Museum and Library Services (agency 474) and FY2024. $494,673,636.55 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide FY2024 total on FY2024 federal spending, not every agency’s book on All agencies, and not cash already paid. FY2024 is a closed fiscal year in the yearlyTrend series used here; later ingests can still restate the cell. Correlation is not causation: a large FY2024 cell does not prove the agency caused a policy outcome, or the reverse.

FY2024 is one yearlyTrend year. A FY2025 IMLS join is a different page. Do not treat 2024 as a count of exhibitions opened. Institute of Museum and Library Services is the agency parent without a year filter. FY2024 federal spending is the fiscal-year parent without this agency filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Institute of Museum and Library Services on the awarding field

Agency 474 is the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The awarding-agency code does not name museums, libraries, or states. Those recipients are unpublished on this packet. Confusing this join with NEH or NEA humanities and arts catalogs would be a different table. Packet facts on the agency side are the name Institute of Museum and Library Services, code 474, all-year obligations $829,811,437.75, and 2,168 awards. Any other recipient, program mix, or contractor list would be invented.

Readers sometimes treat an awarding-agency total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $494,673,636.55 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Institute of Museum and Library Services in FY2024. NEA and NEH are other awarding agencies in this harvest. Mixing those catalogs into agency 474 would overstate the Institute of Museum and Library Services FY2024 cell. No vendor list is supplied.

FY2024 as a grant-year filter, not a visitation year

Fiscal year 2024 is the yearlyTrend year key. It is not a calendar year and not a count of events the agency oversees. Awards that carry a different year sit outside this cell even if the awarding agency is still 474. FY2024 obligations of $494,673,636.55 are about 59.6% of the agency’s $829,811,437.75 all-year obligation total in this extract. Do not treat the all-year $829,811,437.75 as if it were the FY2024 headline.

FY2024 federal spending shows how Institute of Museum and Library Services sits beside other awarding agencies in the same fiscal year. This packet has no outlay total, no recipient roster, and no NAICS split. All agencies is the directory of awarding agencies.

FY2024 share of the IMLS all-year book

The extract lists 2,168 awards on the Institute of Museum and Library Services table. That is an agency-level award-record count, not a FY2024-only census published on this packet. Dividing $494,673,636.55 by 2,168 would mix a year cell with an all-year row count, so this page does not treat that quotient as a typical FY2024 invoice. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Collection and attendance stories the packet omits

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $494,673,636.55 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared in FY2024 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that FY2024 specialized in the agency’s mission because of federal demand. Keep $494,673,636.55 labeled as Institute of Museum and Library Services obligations in FY2024. It is not a museum-attendance ranking, a library-card census, or a holdings count.
