Do you have a project that needs a boost? Are you dreaming up a service you’d like to develop but don’t have funding? Through the Ideas to Action Fund, WiLS provides grants of up to $5,000 so libraries and cultural organizations can bring their project ideas to life.
The program aims to encourage partnerships and collaborations among WiLS members and with community partners, support innovative and exploratory new work, and seed the development of processes, methods, or resources that can be used by other WiLS members.
We seek innovative or collaborative proposals from libraries and cultural organizations of all types in order to support the good work of the diversity of WiLS members.
The 2023 Ideas to Action Fund application period is open through June 5th. The lightweight submission form and minimal reporting requirements make this grant opportunity a great fit for organizations strapped for time and resources.
Not sure about WiLS membership? It’s free and comes with all perks and no strings! Wondering if your project idea is a good fit for the Fund? Read about the projects we’ve funded since 2018.
