Welcome to the website of the Long Island Museum Association (LIMA). As LIMA continues to grow and redefine its activities, we are pleased to begin offering a series of roundtables with experts in the fields of fundraising, volunteer management, and grant research and writing. These roundtables will be offered three times this year (2008), beginning in early June. Watch your email and post office boxes for notices. If successful, we hope to continue these roundtables into the 2009 calendar year, when we also hope to once again offer our annual conference. This year we have re-established our travel grant program for volunteer and paid museum staffers. This program will help fund attendance to any major museum conference up to the amount of $1,000! A rarity in the field, we hope many of you will see fit to apply for this grant. Watch this site for details!

Geoffrey K. Fleming, President LIMA



Our Scholarship program:

LIMA has re-instituted our annual Scholarship program for member organizations. Members may request up to $1,000 in matching funds to attend a professional conference anywhere in the United States. Money may be spent on conference fees, airfare, hotels, and other related activities (LIMA will not fund entertainment/food/beverage). Applicant institutions must match the funds awarded by LIMA. To apply, please send the following to LIMA:

1. Cover letter which includes the name of your organization; conference you wish to attend; reason for attendance; and total amount requested from LIMA (up to $1,000).

2. If the applicant is not the Director of the organization, a letter of support from your Director should be included. If the applicant is the Director, a letter of support from the organization's Board President should be included.

3. Promotional information on the conference.

4. Budget that breaks down the costs of attendance; including what LIMA's funds will be used for and what the applicant institution will fund.

Applications should be sent to LIMA's mailing address at
