2024 FLLS Family Literacy Grant

The Finger Lakes Library System offers Family Literacy mini-grants to member libraries through NYS-funded outreach services.  The mini-grants must be used to purchase supplies and materials or to fund performers/presenters that support your library’s literacy work for at-risk youth ages birth-21 years. The grant is competitive.

The 2024 cycle will be announced in early April 2024.

For questions, please contact Heidi Eckerson at heckerson@flls.org or 607-273-4074 x 227.

Note: On November 3, 2021 the Adult and Family Literacy project funding was merged into the Coordinated Outreach funding.
