My museum (National Museum of Cameroon) will be willing to apply for the grant.

Each museum should consider defining and measuring its own social impact. For the Oakland Museum of California, we are striving to foster social cohesion. We are measuring how our organization, as a whole, and how individual exhibitions and programs contribute to our social impact. We measure social cohesion in a variety of ways and it is ongoing and iterative work. By focusing on specifics, we are able to use our social impact measurement work to improve our practice as well as demonstrate our value to the community.
