Summary

Join our monthly discussion about all things grants. Discuss questions about Library of Michigan grants or grants in general with staff from the Library of Michigan. We will cover planning programs, developing budgets, issues with partnerships, evaluation, managing the grant requirements, funder relationships and anything else you’d like to discuss.

Description

To register for office hours please follow this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZclf-6urTkrHNW3OVNLEfWeAs_9qxNl_3b3. Registrants will then receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly after they register.

Are you new to writing grant proposals? Do you have a program you’d like to start, but don’t know how to translate that into plan? Are grant budgets something you’ve never seen before? Having trouble applying outcome-based evaluation to your project activities? And what’s with the paperwork? Join the Library of Michigan for free advice during monthly open office hours! Come with questions, like...

  • What is the community needs assessment they want?
  • What’s the best way to manage the budget?
  • The jargon in the application is confusing. What’s an authorized official?
  • And much, much more!

Office Hours will be held virtually the second Tuesday of every month from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM EST and are open to any staff or volunteers at public, academic or school libraries. Each meeting will have a theme and have open question time as well.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Library of Michigan.
