I don't see how the headline is misleading. "One-third of U.S. Museums May Not Survive the Year" vs your version: 1/3 of museums are at "significant risk of closing permanently" within 12 months.

“May not survive the year” can be read as either “may close before the end of this calendar year,” or “may close within 12 months.” Unless it’s January 1, those are quite different statements. English sucks sometimes. Edit: inserted the word “calendar” to clarify a little.
