MALF Member Grant + Award Deadlines
Memorial Day heralds summer, and with it comes several grant and award deadlines for MALF member groups.
Coming up first: Friday, July 5 is the cutoff to submit for the annual Evy Nordley Award for Best Project.
Common project types entered into this contest include special events, successful fundraisers, membership drives, and advocacy campaigns – but the sky is the limit! Any Friends-supported project is eligible, provided that (1) project implementation began after January 1, 2023; and (2) either the Friends or their Minnesota library was the primary beneficiary.
Don't think your Friends conducted any activities on the scale of an Evy Nordley prize contender over the past year? Consider contributing to our inclusive and ongoing Stand Up for Standout Friends project instead! As the name suggests, this program exists to honor volunteers who regularly go “above and beyond,” but whose vital contributions often go unheralded.
Each member organization may only submit one name per year for the Standout Friends honor. Recipient perks include a matted certificate and a surprise token of appreciation from MALF; commendation letter to the mayor and county commissioners in each recipient’s hometown; and a written featurette in an upcoming MALF e-newsletter.
Deadline for Stand Up for Standout Friends is Friday, July 26. Entry materials can be found on our website.Memorial Day heralds summer, and with it comes several grant and award deadlines for MALF member groups.
