[Libs-Or] LSTA Competitive Grant Applications Open Nov 1

[OTTUM Tamara K * SLO]

FY22 LSTA Competitive Grant applications are opening November 1st! Information on how to apply - including eligibility, requirements, and deadlines - can be found on our LSTA grants guide<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/lstagrants/competitive>.

*New this year*:

  *   We are implementing two-tiered structure consisting of small grants ($1,000 - $20,000) and large grants ($20,001 - $150,000). See the grant information packet<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/ld.php?content_id=63569433> (found on the LSTA grants guide<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/lstagrants/competitive>) for differences between the two tiers.
  *   We are prioritizing projects that specifically target historically and currently underserved and under-resourced communities as identified in the State of Oregon's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Action Plan<https://www.oregon.gov/das/Docs/DEI_Action_Plan_2021.pdf>, and projects from organizations that have not received an LSTA Competitive Grant in the past 10 years.
  *   If you are looking to have a local newspaper digitized for inclusion in University of Oregon Libraries' Historic Oregon Newspapers database, please consider applying instead for a LSTA+ODNP Newspaper Digitization Grant<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/lstagrants/odnp>.
