Deadline: April 30, 2025
For the tenth year in a row, EBSCO is accepting applications for grants that will fund solar installations at libraries around the world. EBSCO will be making a total of $300,000 in grants available.
$300,000 in grants are available to help awarded libraries incorporate solar power. All academic, school, and public libraries that are current EBSCO customers are eligible to apply. EBSCO will pay
for the initial installation through the grant. The library, town, or college will own the system and be responsible for all post-installation/ongoing maintenance of the solar array.
There are several criteria that will be used to assess the viability of each submission. For instance, a site with a large roof surface and a roof that is new enough to last 20 years would make an excellent candidate. A library that has already started to investigate solar as an option or one that could support a solar array large enough to offset its electricity costs would be viewed favorably. An institution with an existing sustainability program, a plan to involve its patrons or students in the project or high community involvement would also receive consideration.
