Opportunity Fund
Opportunity Fund
GWLA has established an Opportunities Fund to advance its strategic initiatives. GWLA committees and groups can apply for grants of up to $10,000 for a year to plan, create, and implement projects that will have an impact on GWLA libraries. The GWLA Board of Directors is responsible for making the awards. Proposals may be submitted at any time. Reports on progress should be submitted prior to both the fall and spring membership meetings to the GWLA Executive Director.
