The Endowment encourages applications that are multi-institutional. This can include headquarters and branches, libraries of different types in a community, libraries in neighboring counties, or type of libraries.

Library Grant Categories:

Library Education and Training Grants:

These can be used for in-service workshops or multi-library continuing education events. The application can include financial support to pay for substitute staff to keep a library open while staff attends the event or training.

Resource Grants

Resource grants can be used to purchase library books, audio-visual materials, informational software and hardware, and databases. Applications can be submitted for children, youth or adult resources, both physical and electronic. The library is expected to provide a collection analysis to support its justification for a grant and information on the population to be served by the project.

Foundation Grants

Grants for consulting in the area of bylaws, foundation roles and responsibilities, relationship to the library board can be made.

- December 15 with notification about March 15

The Endowment does not reimburse for past projects, or current projects (i.e., projects already started or will be started prior to the award letter).
