BIG News, Friends! Excited To Share The FREE Library and Education Grants Search From Our Friends At Demco!

 

I have some big news, friends.  I am excited to share the FREE Library and Education Grants Search from our friends at Demco. 

This free grant database allows librarians and teachers to search for current available grants without the cost of an expensive subscription.  Demco invites all os us to use as much as possible to find the right funds for our libraries, schools, and organizations.  The database is updated regularly so we can check back often for new opportunities. 

You will find the Demco Library and Education Grants Search site here.  There are just a few fields to fill out and it will give you all of the grants available that meet your criteria. 

As a librarian and teacher, I am so thankful for this resource as I am always looking for ways to bring more to our library, school, and students.  I know you will love this amazing resource too, friends.
