<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Symbol",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,56,100)">Start with a wish list. Grants are all about filling needs; yours and the funders.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Symbol",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,56,100)">Look at what others are doing: IMLS spotlights, state libraries that are big players or similar to your state.
