About the 2026 Literacy Bridges: Empowering 21st Century Communities Grant Program
Literacy Bridges is an invitation-only grant opportunity which supports individual library staff members who are passionate about advancing adult basic and digital literacy in their communities. Invited participants will take part in a competitive application process for a $25,000 grant award, which includes funding for new or expanded Adult Literacy programming at their library and their participation in a professional development cohort.
Through this program, selected individuals will have the opportunity to strengthen their skills in designing and leading locally responsive literacy initiatives. Alongside peers from other libraries, participants will engage in learning sessions and mentorship focused on program design, community partnerships, and program sustainability.
Ideal applicants will bring creativity, a strong connection to their communities, and a desire to make a lasting impact through inclusive, community-centered literacy programs tailored to local needs and aspirations.
