The funding will support small capital projects and programs in museums that have been severely affected by COVID-19, and that serve historically underserved communities or students subject to Title 1.
5 museums in the Sacramento County were included, and they are:
- Verge Center for the Arts - $474,588

This funding will support projects across the state that lift up history and culture that has been underrepresented in the past and enable more people to learn these remarkable stories."
