The Washington County Community Foundation announces a special $150,000 grants program from its Community CARE Fund to support independent, community-based libraries in Washington County. School libraries, medical libraries, and other libraries that operate as a part of another institution are not eligible to participate.

Community libraries may submit one grant request of up to $25,000 using the foundation’s online grant application available at www.wccf.net. Requests submitted by Nov. 1 will be considered, and grants will be announced in December.

Grants may be submitted for capacity-building projects or programming, but requests should only address one project, not a combination of projects. The foundation is prepared to work individually with interested libraries to determine the most appropriate grant request for that particular library.

Interested libraries are encouraged to contact the foundation at 724-222-6330 or allocations@wccf.net.
