Hi Chapter Leaders,
AASL, in collaboration with ODLOS (ALA's Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services), and funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is offering stipends of $2,000 to provide direct assistance funding to libraries for special short-term projects or events that will create new or enhance existing activities to engage students, community members, and patrons with and in the library and to promote the National Day of Racial Healing.
For a complete list of requirements, a downloadable application for review, and a scoring rubric, visit National Day of Racial Healing Stipends | American Association of School Librarians. The application is available now (member login required). The deadline to apply is December 18, 2025, at 4:30 CST.
PLEASE NOTE: postings have been purposefully limited (no press release, no social media) so as not to attract the wrong kind of attention. Please share directly with members and colleagues, but we ask you (and pass along the ask) that it not be posted to social media.
Thank you,
Allison
