Mini Grant !!!!!!!!!

Here is your opportunity to apply for the second annual mini-grant to fund programming ideas at HPL Neighborhood Libraries.
This is the second year we have used this process to award Friends programming money. The total funds available this year from the Friends remains $18,000. You’ll find all the details in the attached documents.
Grant amount will be between $500 -$1000
Programming can be targeted for families, children, teens, adults or multicultural events.
Final reports on how the program helps meet HPL goals and objectives will be required.
This funding is to provide programming for any age group at any time of the year. Funds could be used for a series of programs such as videogame tournaments, science programming for youth during the school year, a program each week of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, funds for refreshments and craft supplies for an after school Teen craft, or hiring a Tai Chi instructor for an adult series. Branches can group together to present a series of programs at multiple locations, or apply on your own. Programs should support HPL goals and objectives. The mini-grants are available to Neighborhood Libraries, HPL Express Locations and the Kids and Teens rooms at Central.
Application forms and other supporting information are attached.
