Summary
This fund is dedicated to supporting public‑school librarians and media specialists. It awards grants annually to help library professionals enrich student learning and foster a love of reading across diverse learner groups. The grant is focused on projects in reading, writing, speaking, listening, visual literacy, family outreach, or creating welcoming and inclusive learning spaces.
Only library/media staff employed by public schools are eligible; nonprofit organizations, private individuals, or schools outside that district are not considered. The projects must benefit students across all backgrounds and abilities and encourage literacy in a safe, age‑appropriate environment. Grants are expected to be used within about ten months of award, and proposals should articulate how they support multiple learning styles and community engagement.
The application period typically opens in mid‑September and closes in October each year. Decisions are announced several weeks later. While the total award pool across all related educator grants is over $40,000, this particular fund’s portion varies depending on the cycle and number of qualified proposals submitted. The amount granted to any one library/media project depends on proposal strength and funding availability.
The intent of this fund is to elevate school libraries as dynamic, inclusive hubs of learning, and to support media professionals in creating programs and environments that help students explore literacy in meaningful ways. If your school’s librarian or library team is eligible, this grant could help bring to life creative literacy projects or upgrades to library space or programming.
