Description:
The purpose of this program is to support projects that address significant challenges and opportunities faced by the library, archive, and museum (LAM) fields and that have the potential to advance theory and practice in those fields. The funding agency intends to support projects that will help LAMs and their communities learn together how to build upon the unique abilities of LAMs to achieve positive change. Projects will exemplify how LAMs can provide trusted spaces for ongoing community dialogue and exploration of the intersections between individual narratives. Additionally, projects will demonstrate the viability of using and adapting existing approaches gleaned from the collective impact, social well-being, and community-development arenas.
