Opportunity Information: Apply for NAG HAWAIIAN FY18
The Native Hawaiian Library Services Grant is a competitive discretionary grant program administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Its purpose is to support projects that improve library services for Native Hawaiian communities, either by strengthening and expanding services that already exist or by creating new services where needs are not currently being met. The program’s authorized activities are tied to federal law (20 U.S.C. 9141), which sets the overall scope of what kinds of library service improvements can be funded under this opportunity.
This opportunity was offered as a grant (Funding Opportunity Number: NAG HAWAIIAN FY18) within the broader funding activity categories of arts and humanities, reflecting IMLS’s cultural affairs mission and the role libraries play in preserving, sharing, and sustaining community knowledge and cultural heritage. The program is structured as a competitive process, meaning applications are reviewed and selected based on merit and alignment with the program goals, rather than being awarded automatically to all eligible applicants.
Funding amounts for this cycle were relatively modest and targeted: the maximum award (award ceiling) was $150,000 per grant, and IMLS expected to make about four awards. The opportunity was posted on March 5, 2018, with an original application deadline of May 1, 2018. Eligible applicants were listed generally as “Others,” with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement’s eligibility section, which typically clarifies what types of organizations or entities serving Native Hawaiian communities may apply.
In practical terms, the grant is designed to help applicants deliver concrete library service outcomes for Native Hawaiian people. While the notice does not list specific project examples, the framing indicates support for service enhancements and new service implementation, which commonly includes efforts such as improving access to library resources, strengthening programs that meet local educational and cultural needs, and building capacity to provide sustained library services within Native Hawaiian communities, all consistent with the activities described in the governing statute.Apply for NAG HAWAIIAN FY18
