<div dir="ltr">Maryland has many subgrants including:<div><br></div><div><b>Staff Development-Maryland Library Association Conference grants</b></div><div>These are awarded by number of staff and are awarded every year. We have 24 library systems and 3 regionals-- they all are provided with funding. We follow the state fiscal year, so these are one year long grants. Grantees need to submit for reimbursement at least quarterly and need to complete interim and final reports.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Competitive Grants</b></div><div>Every year we have a competitive grants cycle that is open to Maryland public libraries. We have a grant review internally plus 2 outside neutral 3rd parties that also review the grants. This year we awarded about 15 grants. Our cap for these grants is $30k and library systems may submit up to 3 applications. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Statewide Grants</b></div><div>We also award statewide grants which typically are longer projects such as One Maryland One Book (statewide bookclub), Statewide Statistics (Tableau training), Webinar programming (staff development courses online), Tech Lending, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>All of the LSTA grants have grant liaisons (there are 5 of us), interim/final reports, and if we have a grants showcase they are required to present. All of our grants follow the same one-year fiscal year that mirrors the state.</div><div><br></div><div>All of our grants are managed in an electronic grants management system that was custom built on a Salesforce platform. (I don't necessarily recommend this choice. I started developing this in 2019 and it is a work in progress.) I have learned a lot about Salesforce and act as the admin.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm happy to answer any questions.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Mary</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 11, 2024 at 8:58 AM Forbes, Lyndsay (BLC) via lstac <<a href="mailto:lstac@omls.oregon.gov">lstac@omls.oregon.gov</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg5374043131339708162">
