  OHIO CONTENTS State & Federal Grants Regional Foundations Grant Information Centers STATE & FEDERAL GRANTS Several organizations distribute federal funds to U.S. libraries, including NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) and NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities), but IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) is the largest. IMLS runs a grant program known as LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act), which supports the delivery of library services in the United States. LSTA distributes funds to State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAA), also known as "state libraries," who then use the funds to support a range of libraries in their state. STATE LIBRARY AGENCY State Library of Ohio 274 East First Avenue, Suite 100 Columbus, OH 43201 614-644-6843 Grants portion of the web site State Library of Ohio distributes LSTA in one of three ways. Some funds are used in-house for programs that further the goals of the Five-Year Plan, such as, for example, the Summer Reading Program. LSTA funds also support a variety of statewide initiatives, including statewide resource sharing (Ohio Libraries Share: MORE), the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled program, library databases available to any Ohio citizens, and the KnowItNow 24-7 virtual reference services. The remainder of the LSTA funds are distributed through the competitive grant programs: minigrants, full grants, and disability grants. All grant opportunities are available on a yearly cycle. Announcement of grant availability is posted on library listservs and the timeline for each grant cycle can be found on the web site. For all competitive grants, a cash match of 25 percent of the total project cost is required. All types of libraries, public, school, academic, and special may apply for LSTA grants. Partnership and cooperative projects are especially encouraged.
