As part of the My Library Is… campaign, RAILS invites applications for grant projects that help tell the story of the library. All RAILS libraries are eligible to apply. Libraries that received funding from the 2024 My Library Is… Grant must wait a year before applying again.
All applications will be evaluated by a team of volunteer reviewers. The rubric includes the criteria on which all applications will be evaluated.
Individual awards are limited to $5,000. We will fund up to $100,000 in total awards for the entire grant period. This link provides more information on how these grants will be funded.
Grants will be awarded, and funds distributed approximately 6-8 weeks after the application deadline. All applications will be either full funded or not funded; no applications will be partially funded.
Applications are due Monday, February 3, 2025, at 5:00 PM CDT. Late applications will not be accepted. For more information, and to apply, please go here.
