[lstac] Grants and 2025 funding

Mon Jan 6 12:43:05 PST 2025

Hi to all,

Not a hiatus yet, but we are postponing accepting applications for any offerings normally funded with LSTA.

Much like Sulin, we routinely post a ‘just in case’ disclaimer with our grant offerings:  --  This grant offering is being announced in advance of the provision of the state budget. The Illinois State Library makes grant applications available so that award notification may be released when legislative and gubernatorial approval of the appropriation is made. Obligations to fund this grant program will cease immediately without penalty or further payment being required if the Illinois General Assembly or the federal funding source fails to appropriate or otherwise make available sufficient funds.

We did invoke this during the two years our General Assembly did not approve a state budget, and we had no spending authority.  We had accepted applications but could not award any of them. That was brutal!

We move on as usual but all of our NOFOs state, “subject to the availability of funds” or something similar, to give us an out.

Not hiatus, not just yet. But we’re on a new timeline for subgrants<https://nsla.nv.gov/2024LSTA/Deadlines>, started last year, because I just could not. I used to start late fall/early winter (so now) and even though I was prepared for crankiness, I was surprised by how much the subgrantees liked the new timeline. I would guess this is a tough time, capacity wise, for them as well.  So, we have a built-in cushion.
This new timeline should allow us to prep with real federal numbers, or at least have a better sense for how things will play out. Plus, we’ll have the Governor’s recommended biennium budget.

Subgrants
Announcement: March
Apps due: July
Projects start: Sept.
Projects end: Sept. (13 months)

Statewides/internal projects are still July – June though.

WARNING - This email originated from outside the State of Nevada. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders.
Is anyone else considering putting grant programs on hiatus for the 2025 federal year? My application and contracting calendar would need to be started before we are likely to know the funding status for next year, so I’m wondering what others who may be in the same situation are considering.

Thanks.
