[lstac] Grants

Tue May 30 15:13:39 PDT 2023

I also do a presentation on locating “seed money”  I’ve pulled together a number of resources that libraries can use to locate funding.  I also try to get them to think outside the box when looking for funding.  This list is out of date and my goal is to have it 100% updated this summer!  It is tailored for Colorado but will give you some ideas!  http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/funding_other

I’m actually doing a presentation that covers this tomorrow. Here are my suggestions:
Start with a wish list. Grants are all about filling needs; yours and the funders.
Look at what others are doing: IMLS spotlights, state libraries that are big players or similar to your state.
Follow online forums like PEAK Connect, WinningLibraryGrants (Twitter), Library Grants (Blogspot), Library of Congress, foundations <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2YxlOcb6rs> (our webinar intro).
Also, consider asking local service and business clubs like Jaycees, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Lions Club, AAUW, grocers, craft store, any group that can help promote and perhaps fill a need that your other funding can’t support (popsicles for summer reading kids).

Best,
Maura

Good morning (or afternoon depending on where you are), fellow LSTAers.  I hope you had a great Memorial Day holiday!  😊

Quick question:  what tools or resources do you use to research grants (private, federal, etc.) that might be applicable to your public libraries?  Thanks for any assistance.
