In the framework of the partnership established between the Dag
Hammarskjöld Library (DHL) and the World Bank/International Monetary
Fund (IMF) Joint Library, an initiative aimed at assisting field library
staff interested in improving their professional skills has been launched.
The World Bank/IMF Joint Library initiated research on information relating
to grants and training resources available to libraries and librarians, and DHL provided complementary information.
In addition to a number of websites on grants, including grants for training,
guidelines on grant proposal writing have been identified.
Organizations offering grant programmes for libraries include:
- philanthropic organizations;
- other types of foundations;
- government agencies.
List of organizations
Although each institution has its own rules and instructions, we also
have identified websites that provide general guidelines on applying for
grants.
We welcome suggestions on any additional useful websites on grants and
grant seeking. Please send your message to : dhlsfl@un.org
