Library Grants
Through our philanthropic efforts, the board members have seen inroads made towards library automation, reference volumes reduced to online subscriptions, increases in computer accessibility and general expansion of services. Past grants have supported outreach and “shut-in” programs, adult reading classes, after school projects, bilingual material and many other projects initiated by the community’s patrons. Grant applications are evaluated twice a year by a permanent, appointed committee of the Texas Library Association. The board of directors makes all final decisions.
Grants are not limited to the categories listed here. We are happy to discuss proposed applications prior to submission of the application.
Please contact our office to speak with Associate Director, Karin Gerstenhaber.
The Tocker Foundation will seriously consider any project submitted that enhances the services provided by the public library.
Do your research. Make sure you research EVERYTHING about your project. Why do you need it? How will it impact your patrons? How will you accomplish it? What vendor will you use?
