Opportunity Information: Apply for NAG HAWAIIAN FY19
The Native Hawaiian Library Services Grant is a discretionary, competitive grant program run by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to support library service improvements for Native Hawaiian communities. The program is designed to fund projects that either strengthen services already being provided by libraries or help create new services where needs are not yet being met. The activities that can be supported are tied to the federal authorization in 20 U.S.C. 9141, which establishes the general purpose and allowable approaches for improving library services for Native Hawaiian populations.
This opportunity was offered under the funding opportunity title "Native Hawaiian Library Services Grant" with the funding opportunity number "NAG HAWAIIAN FY19." It uses a grant as the funding instrument type and is categorized under the broader funding activity areas of Arts and Humanities (often grouped under cultural affairs in federal assistance listings). The program is associated with CFDA number 45.311, which is used to track and classify federal assistance programs for reporting and administrative purposes.
In terms of award parameters, the maximum award amount listed (the award ceiling) is $150,000 per grant, and IMLS anticipated making approximately three awards under this specific funding cycle. The opportunity record shows it was created on February 28, 2019, with an original application closing date of May 1, 2019, indicating a relatively short application window typical of many annual federal grant competitions.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants needed to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification on which specific organizations could apply. In practice, opportunities with this label often involve specialized eligibility requirements tied to serving Native Hawaiian communities and meeting statutory or program-specific definitions, so reviewing the official eligibility section would have been essential for any prospective applicant.
Overall, the Native Hawaiian Library Services Grant is aimed at practical, service-oriented library projects that directly enhance access, quality, and reach of library services for Native Hawaiians, using federal grant funds administered by IMLS and awarded through a competitive review process.Apply for NAG HAWAIIAN FY19
