INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

Please answer all of the questions in this form. Take the time and space that you need to answer the questions completely but please note that each entry box does have character limits.

We recommend building your answers in your preferred word processing program, then copying and pasting your responses into this form. 

Submit your completed application via SurveyGizmo by 4:00 PM ET on April 1, 2016. No other forms of submission will be accepted. Incomplete forms or late submissions will not be accepted or considered.

More information about requirements and timelines can be found at BetterWorldBooks.com/librarygrants

Please keep the following criteria in mind as you complete the application:
  • Where questions have multiple parts, be sure to address all parts. Omissions make it difficult to evaluate your application.
  • Projects should address the literacy needs of under-served populations in their community. Literacy needs are defined by broadly identifying, understanding, interpreting, creating, communicating, and computing information to live a more fulfilling and productive life.
  • Libraries may pitch only one project each, with a maximum award of $15,000. Please be sure to clearly outline the project elements that require the requested funds.
  • Projects that will have a measurable and long term impact on an under-served population and will continue to operate after grant funds have been utilized will be looked upon favorably.

Better World Books looks forward to reviewing applications that bring a fresh and inspired approach to challenging issues.
