[Rebecca Higgerson]

Directors and Friends liaisons,

Please be sure to share with your Friends.

Thank you,

In honor of a founding member of the Friends of Michigan Libraries, FOML
awards up to two grants annually. Each “Harriet Larson Founders Grant” is
worth up to $400* each. They are designed to help Friends groups in their
efforts to support, enhance and showcase their local library.



The grants will be awarded by the Grants & Awards Committee based on the
following priorities when reviewing applications, provided an applicant
meets all of the applicable eligibility requirements:



1. A new Friends group is being officially formed;

2. A Friends group that is being rejuvenated, with a higher priority given
to a group with a longer period of inactivity;

3. An existing Friends group has a proposal for increasing membership,
increasing community awareness, or a proposal for a novel approach to
advocating for their library in the community.



“Harriet Larson Founders Grant” applications received by March 31 and
September 30 of each year will be considered at the first FOML Board
meeting following those dates.



The grant form has been designed for you to complete within Adobe Reader.
Please note: you cannot save information on the application. Be sure to
print two copies, one for your records and one to be mailed to the address
below.



To apply, please send your application to:
