[lstac] Friends groups

[Reish, Karren (MDE)]

We do not allow this. Our eligible organizations for grants are only legally established public libraries or HLC accredited academic libraries. The grant contract must be with those libraries legal fiscal agent.

As a side note, we allow school libraries as partners to the eligible organization, but not as a directly eligible. We had too many years of wildly ineligible proposals before we just said no school libraries.

Howdy from Texas to all.

Quick question for those of you who do subgrants...

Do you award grants to library Friends groups on behalf of the library? These would be official nonprofits (501c(3)).

If so, do you require any documentation from the library's governing authority to allow such an arrangement?

Please share.

Thanks in advance,
Erica
