2025 Library Improvement and Innovation Grant


NFLS has set aside $20,000 for Library Improvement and Innovation Grants. Grant funds are to be used in the areas of Workforce & Economic Development, Information Technology, and/or Reading Proficiency & Lifelong Learning. See grant guidelines for further detail on the purpose the grant can be used for.

Collaboration with other libraries and/or community partners is encouraged, but not necessary. 

This grant is a one-time only grant.  Sustainability for any projects started with grant funding should be considered and accounted for in the recipient library’s budget.
 
Upon completion of the grant project, recipients will be required to give a brief report to the NFLS Advisory Committee of Librarians and work with NFLS on a short publicity presentation.

Please review the attached grant guidelines for complete details on applying for the grant. Please be aware that you will need to obtain pre-approval of your application if your grant request amount is $5,000 or more. Please submit a brief grant summary (two to three paragraphs) for pre-approval to me at [email protected] by June 16, 2025.
 
If you would like your application reviewed by a Grant Committee member before the application is due, please contact Hannah Good Zima @ [email protected] by June 20, 2025 to arrange pre-application review. 

To receive a grant, the library must:
  1. Download and complete an Improvement and Innovation Grant Application Form.
  2. Email complete form to Hannah Good Zima by Monday, June 30, 2025. 
  3. Upon completion of the grant project, recipients will be required to give a brief report to the NFLS Advisory Committee of Librarians and work with NFLS on a short publicity presentation.

Timeline: The Grant Committee will review applications in July and the Board of Trustees will give final approval at the August 2025 Board meeting. Award recipients will receive notice of an award within 7 days.
