Application Process
Two Funding Cycles Per Year
Grant Timelines
All applications are first reviewed by a committee of professional librarians appointed by the Texas Library Association. This committee makes recommendations to the Foundation’s Board of Directors.
Final grant decisions are made by the board approximately six weeks after the application deadline. Grant decision notifications can be expected two to three weeks later.
How to Apply
The foundation receives all applications through an online application system that was selected for its ease of use.
Do you still want to do your writing in Word? No problem. The software allows you to copy and paste into the appropriate spots when ready. And for those who work directly on the site, it also allows you to save your work, return to it and edit as often as necessary before hitting the submit button.
See the application instructions and video tutorial for guidance or call our office. We are always happy to help.
Final Reports for Library Grantees
Final reports are due one year from the date the grant was awarded as indicated in the grant contract.
