Winning Library Grants: Turning Community Needs into Funded Projects

Register here

If grant writing feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Libraries everywhere are balancing limited time, big ideas, and shifting community needs. This session offers a friendly, encouraging walk through a clear approach that makes the whole process more manageable and more successful.

Together, we’ll explore how to identify genuine community needs, shape them into grant project ideas, align with funders, and create a project structure that reviewers will trust. We’ll look at common pitfalls, share simple ways to stay focused, and build confidence at each stage of the grant cycle. Find out how a vague idea becomes a strong, fundable project. You’ll also see where AI tools can lend a helpful hand. You’ll leave with a grounded, repeatable process you can rely on, plus renewed confidence in your ability to find and apply for funding that strengthens your community.
