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 2024 Ideas to Action Fund application period is open through June 3rd. The proposal form and reporting are built to be simple and quick so awardees can focus on the success of the work and the benefits to their communities.
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? Read about the projects we’ve funded since 2018. Want more details on how to prepare your proposal? Watch this helpful webinar. Have any other questions or want more information? Drop us a line at information@wils.org. We’d love to hear from you!
