Partnership for a Nation of Learners Grants Announced
Grants, professional development activities, and an online resource center are available through Partnership for a Nation of Learners (PNL), a joint initiative of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
PNL's mission is "to serve America's communities by encouraging and enabling museums, public broadcasters, and libraries to work together to address locally-identified lifelong learning needs and opportunities."
The PNL initiative will provide $2.2 million in grant support for new and existing community-based lifelong learning collaborations and the infrastructure/technologies that enable them, in two rounds of funding.
The deadline for 2006 Community Collaboration Grant applications is March 1, 2006. For grant guidelines see the PNL website.
For details about the seven grants awarded to partnerships in Boston, MA; South Portland, ME; St. Johnsbury, VT; Charleston, WV; Haines, AK; Lincoln, NE; and Las Vegas, NV in 2005, see the online descriptions.
