This Giving Tuesday, the Endowment and Fundraising Committee invites our IRRT community to help us continue building momentum toward our student engagement fundraising goal — an initiative originally launched during IRRT’s 75th milestone.
The 75th Anniversary Fund will support travel grants for both domestic and international LIS students to attend ALA Annual Conferences. These grants will create meaningful opportunities for emerging professionals to participate in global conversations, build international networks, and gain early exposure to the broader library community. Strengthening this pipeline of globally engaged librarians is essential to IRRT’s continued impact.
As we work toward fulfilling the campaign goal, every contribution makes a difference. Your support will help ensure that more students can take part in international librarianship and carry forward IRRT’s long-standing commitment to global connection and collaboration.
If you’re able, please consider making a Giving Tuesday contribution today:

Thank you for supporting IRRT and the future of our global library community.
