[lstac] subgrants

[Maura Walsh]

I like the X factor idea! Like a grant in a box – and maybe offer box 1, box 2, and box 3, all with different versions. (Am I getting too Cat-in-the-hatty?)
And yes! to dinner or other discussion opportunity.

Michigan used to do a small summer programming grant and a larger year long project grant. We are still doing the larger one, but the small one is on hold. I am pondering how to revamp it so I don’t have to review 150-200 ideas and budgets in a few weeks flat and then do the same with the reimbursements a few months later. The workload is too much. I am considering identifying a few summer projects – You can do X with this exact purchasing list and these evaluation questions. I welcome any insights on how and how well you think it might work.

If we don’t have time in sessions, maybe we could have a subgrants discussion dinner one of the days.

Good morning,
Please include me on any info. We don’t have a very active subaward program right now, but would love to revamp.
I keep talking about ideas and what might be appealing to (especially smaller) libraries. The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence keeps ricocheting around in my brain – and I’m trying to come up with a good tie-in that’s really inclusive. Maybe we could brainstorm in Milwaukee as well?

Best,
Maura

Good morning!

Massachusetts is looking to revamp our grant program to subrecipients. I’d be interested in knowing how other states that do subgrants structure their program.
