Grant up to € 15,000 for projects that outline public library services

The Reading & Writing Foundation supports advocacy projects at any level, that outline services that public libraries provide in the areas of social inclusion, digital inclusion or lifelong learning. Each public library, association or organization related to public libraries can apply for a grant up to € 15,000. There is no deadline, but projects have to be implemented and results must be delivered by January 1, 2016.

The Foundation will fund newly developed projects or ongoing initiatives tailored specifically to this programme. Applying is possible for all of the 28 EU countries. The project objective has to be clearly stated and it has to be explained how it will be achieved. Applications must be submitted in English and signed by the authorized representative of the organization. There will be a limited number of projects to fund. Therefore, interested parties are advised to apply early.
