Partnership for a Nation of Learners Announces Community Collaboration Grant Program

Deadline: March 1, 2006

The Partnership for a Nation of Learners <a href="http://www.partnershipforlearners.org/">http://www.partnershipforlearners.org/</a> is a Corporation for Public Broadcasting <a href="http://cpb.org">http://cpb.org/</a> and Institute of Museum and Library Services <a href="http://www.imls.gov">http://www.imls.gov</a> leadership initiative.

The purpose of the project’s joint Community Collaboration Grant program is to build and strengthen working relationships among libraries, museums, and public broadcasting licensees that enhance their respective roles within their communities.

Projects eligible to apply include collaborations between a public broadcasting licensee (radio or television) and a museum or library, or among all three types of organizations. Projects that involve all three types of
organizations — museums, libraries, and public broadcasting licensees (and, where appropriate, other community organizations) — will generally be considered more competitive for funding purposes.

Each proposed project should show how collaboration and shared resources enable partners to meet clearly defined needs for one or more audience segments within their local communities.

Projects must begin on the first day of the month. Projects may begin at any point between October 1, 2006, and December 1, 2006. Grant amounts will range from $25,000 to $250,000.
