Each year the Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF) distributes grants to non-profit organizations including all types of libraries, schools, and universities to support activities that raise awareness of intellectual freedom and censorship issues during the annual Banned Books Week celebration (September 18 - 24, 2022). Grants will be awarded for $1,000.
Grants are evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Imagination: What makes your plan unique? How have you integrated the concept that Books Unite Us: Censorship Divides Us?
- Schedule/Action Plan: Include key dates, responsibilities, and think of ways to collaborate with other groups to carry out a creative project.
- Promotional Plan: What are the ways you will promote your event and who is your intended audience? Do you have a media and social media plan?
- Budget. It is preferred that institutions and other groups they are working with partially contribute to the funding of proposed events rather than solely relying on the grant. Designating funds for the purchase of books, or as an honorarium for one speaker, is discouraged.
