Deadlines
Many agencies have histories of funding library grant proposals. Below are brief summaries of specific agencies' interests, grant proposal deadlines and links to more information.Remember--it's not too early to start thinking about your grant submission. Ideally we'd like to receive your final proposal in the Grants Office at least two weeks prior to the agency deadline so we can route the material for internal approval before mailing.
The Grants Office will help you set up an application timetable to meet
your deadlines and will ensure your project has necessary approval before
submission. If you choose, the Grants Office can also provide assistance
in writing your grant narrative. We look forward to hearing from you!
