<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#2F5597"><br>
The application period for the EDI & School Library Collections mini-grants is open through the end of Wednesday, April 21<sup>st</sup>. The application, eligibility, purchasing criteria, timeline, and more information are
<u><a href="https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/lstagrants/edischool"><span style="color:#2F5597">available on the related LibGuide</span></a>.</u> After clicking on the Apply Now button, you will need to create an account in the State Library’s online grant
portal, or log in if you have used the system in the past. If your organization already has an account, the system will alert you when you enter the employer identification number (EIN).

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#2F5597;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
Non-profit private schools and public charter schools, as well as school districts on behalf of multiple schools, are eligible to apply. Except for private and charter schools, applications must be at the district level.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#2F5597;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
Only school library staff (classified or certified) may apply. It’s fine if administrators or others assist you with the application, but a school library staff person must be the grant contact.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#2F5597;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
Each school listed as part of the application must have a library facility and some level FTE of paid library staff.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#2F5496"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#2F5496">Great news! The State Library has allocated $70,000 for mini-grants to fund school library collection development with a focus on equity, diversity, and/or inclusion. The maximum award ranges from $10,000 to
$250 based on student enrollment. Oregon school districts and non-profit private schools [and public charter schools] are eligible to apply. Except for private [and charter] schools, applications must be at the district level. Each district may decide how
many and which schools to include, based on priorities, needs, etc. The application period will open on Monday, April 12 and close Wednesday, April 21. Grant recipients will be notified by April 30, and a check will be issued within 30 days (hopefully sooner,
but recipients can prepare orders while waiting on the check, if needed). In other words, recipients will receive funds up front instead of through a reimbursement model. All funds must be expended and invoices/receipts submitted to the State Library by August
31, 2021. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
