Planning for a Literacy Grant Application

Planning for a Literacy Grant Application

The State Library offers one-year LSTA literacy grants of up to $7,500 to assist libraries with creating strategic, sustainable partnerships and lifelong learning programs that address the seven literacies (basic, early, civic/social, digital/information, financial, health, and legal). In this workshop, learn how to develop a compelling grant application:

  • identify your target audience, what motivates them, and how you know what they need
  • describe the project activities by addressing who, what, where, when, how and why
  • identify project costs, and compose a project budget

Also learn about the wide range of literacy resources available from the State Library to support your projects, and talk with state library experts about existing programs and partners who can help your project succeed.

This workshop is not required for LSTA grant applicants but is strongly encouraged.
