Talk Story: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture Grant (deadline April 1, 2021)

In the wake of the tragedy in Atlanta, your library might be considering, “What can we do?” Library programs and collections that support conversation about race and culture is a reliable option.

To that end, the Talk Story: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture Grant jointly offered by the American Indian Library Association and Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association are currently accepting applications for a total of four grants worth $750 each, two from each organization. Grant funds are available to encourage libraries, schools, and community organizations who serve Asian American, Pacific Islander American, and/or American Indian children and families to conduct intergenerational programs to celebrate the cultural heritage of their communities.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, April 1, 2021. Membership to the American Indian Library Association and Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association is not required. The application form (Word or PDF) is relatively easy to complete and requires a Statement of Need (200 words), Narrative (500-750 words), and Proposed Budget.
