Awesome Libraries
December 2020 Award
Call for proposals
Awesome Libraries announces its final 2020 call for mini-grant proposals. We will award $1,000 to a community-based archive or memory project. With this round of funding, we hope to support a marginalized community's efforts and decision-making to collect, preserve, and share its history. All types of preservation and memory projects are welcome to apply, including but not limited to acquiring and preserving physical materials, events, exhibits, and documentary films.
Awesome Libraries was created by a group of passionate librarians who wanted to provide a catalyst for prototyping both technical and non-technical library innovations that embody the principles of diversity, inclusivity, creativity, and risk-taking. And, we have embedded these principles into the grant selection guidelines.
If you have or know of a community-based archive or memory project that needs support, please apply or share this opportunity. Applications are welcome through December 1, 2020, and the awardee will be announced in mid-December.
