Opportunity Information: Apply for NAG ENHANCEMENT FY24
Native American Library Services Enhancement Grants (2024) is a discretionary grant program run by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to help federally recognized Native American tribal governments strengthen and modernize core library services for their communities. The program is framed around IMLS agency goals that focus on lifelong learning, deeper community engagement, and better stewardship of library collections along with improved access to those resources. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support projects that make tribal library services more responsive to local needs and priorities, especially in areas where improved tools, training, programs, or preservation work can have a direct community impact.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is improving digital services. This includes efforts that expand or upgrade technology and digital access in ways that support education and learning, workforce development and job readiness, economic and business development, access to health information, and the building of critical thinking and digital literacy skills. Projects under this goal could involve strengthening digital infrastructure, expanding online resources, providing technology training, or creating services that help community members use digital tools effectively for school, work, entrepreneurship, and informed decision-making.
The opportunity also supports improvements to educational programming offered through tribal libraries. Funding can be used to enhance programs tied to specific topics and content areas that local patrons and community-based users care about, which could include workshops, classes, speaker series, curriculum support, or other learning activities designed around community interests and needs. This part of the program is intended to help libraries serve as active learning hubs, not just places to access materials, by increasing the quality, relevance, and reach of educational services.
Another central goal is cultural preservation and language revitalization. The grant is intended to help tribal communities protect, preserve, and increase access to Native American cultural heritage, including work that supports the continued use and revitalization of Native languages. This can include projects that improve how cultural materials are cared for, organized, preserved, digitized, or shared, as well as initiatives that support language learning resources and programming. The broader intent is to ensure that cultural knowledge and language resources are sustained and accessible in ways that align with community values and priorities.
