Grants are always important to libraries for funding new initiatives and innovations—and in times of budget cuts and shortages, they are essential.
This page will provide links to grant resources including local foundations, ongoing grants and a library grants blog. Grants that NCLS comes across that are not covered on the Library Grants Blog will be listed below and will be removed periodically upon expiration of the grant deadline.

Better World Books/National Center for Family Literacy Libraries and Families Award
The Better World Books/National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) Libraries and Families
Award recognizes innovative library-based literacy programs for families. Library
programs throughout the country with a strong intergenerational approach to helping
parents and children learn together are encouraged to apply. Programs that serve
communities and families with high literacy and socioeconomic needs are of special
interest. Both previously existing and new programs are eligible for the award.
Three libraries will win a $10,000 grant and a trip to NCFL's annual conference.
The application deadline is February 6, 2012. Visit the NCFL website to submit an online application.
