Grantseeking for Libraries: Strategies and Tips
This webinar presents grantseeking strategies for success that can benefit libraries of all sizes.
This event has passed.
Grant funding provides libraries with the opportunity to offer programs and services to the community which may not fit into the library’s regular budget. If the process of evaluating opportunities and applying for a grant feels overwhelming, view this webinar to learn strategies for success that can benefit libraries of all sizes. We look at aspects of grant development including mission alignment, how to build organizational support, and submitting a strong application. Funders are often interested in a diverse set of applicants and communities to distribute their funding to, and this session will help you feel more confident and empowered to pursue these opportunities for your library.
Presented by: Kendra Morgan, Senior Program Manager, WebJunction; and Steph Harmon, Program Design and Development Manager, WebJunction
