Talk Story: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture Grant

Program Overview

Talk Story: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture is a literacy program that reaches out to Asian Pacific American (APA) and American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) children and their families. The program celebrates and explores Asian Pacific American (APA) and American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) stories through books, oral traditions, and art to provide an interactive, enriching experience. Children and their families can connect to rich cultural activities through Talk Story in their homes, libraries, and communities. This grant is aimed to give financial support to libraries and community organizations who want to introduce a Talk Story program into their library, focusing on APA or AIAN cultures.

Talk Story grant funding is available due to the generous support of Toyota Financial Services.


Eligibility

Libraries and community organizations that serve children and their families are eligible to apply. We encourage libraries and community organizations to work together on a Talk Story program.

Organizations who have previously been awarded two Talk Story grants are ineligible for additional awards.

Application

Submit a complete application and 500 word essay detailing what your library or community organization would do with the award and what types of programs highlighting APA or AIAN cultures you are interested in planning for your community. A complete application will include complete information of the proposed program from start to finish with enough detail that the program plan is replicable by other libraries.

You may apply for either an APALA grant OR an AILA grant. Note: You may not apply to both organizations.

Applications must be received by Friday, March 18, 2016
Award will be announced by Tuesday, April 19, 2016
