Communities for Immunity is seeking proposals that aim to boost COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake in communities across the United States.
Funding awards will be provided to museums and libraries to leverage their deep relationships with local communities to improve vaccine confidence through highly localized approaches. By providing funding awards to these trusted community institutions, the initiative will use new and existing resources to reach Americans across the nation. Additionally, a Community of Practice will be created to develop and refine vaccine education resources that will be shared with the broader museum and library community. This FAQ page includes resources to help you determine which groups in your community might have higher rates of vaccine hesitancy.
This funding opportunity is for museums, libraries, science centers, zoos, aquariums, gardens, tribal organizations, and other cultural institutions located in the United States, including territories and tribal lands. To be eligible for this award, your organization must be either a private nonprofit organization with tax-exempt status or part of a State or local government or a multipurpose not-for-profit entity, such as a municipality, university, historical society, foundation, or cultural center. Additionally, organizations must qualify according to the Institute of Museum and Library Services Eligibility Criteria.

An estimated 154 awards will be granted ranging from $1,500–$100,000. Projects are to be completed by March 31, 2022. Some smaller projects may use existing resources and materials to communicate about vaccines, like printing and distributing pamphlets about COVID-19 vaccination, facilitating a community discussion about vaccines, or opening or maintaining a vaccination site. Higher-budget proposals may create entirely new materials that can later be shared with other institutions. Read the applicant toolkit for more information about the application process.
