Funding Uncertainty Impact Survey

  • 1.  Funding Uncertainty Impact Survey

    Posted May 28, 2025 08:52 AM
    Edited by Jami Yazdani May 28, 2025 08:52 AM
    Recent IMLS funding cuts and federal library funding uncertainty create impacts that extend beyond library walls.
    To demonstrate tangible economic consequences and advocate for continued library support, Consultants for Libraries is gathering data on how these cuts impact library consultants and vendors. Our survey focuses on quantifying canceled or paused contracts and lost business opportunities directly or indirectly linked to reductions or concerns surrounding federal funding.
    If you work with library, museum, or archives clients, please submit your anonymous responses at https://forms.gle/q5mukn4PfnDV5UJw7
    Please forward this survey to colleagues who work with library, museum, or archives clients.
    If you have any questions, please reach out to Jami Yazdani at jami@consultantsforlibraries.org.
