Iowa Public Library Grant Award Program

About this program

The Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust provides grants of up to $80,000 to support the development and improvement of public libraries in Iowa, with a focus on initiatives benefiting youth. Applicants must be public libraries in Iowa, and projects should prioritize youth engagement. To be considered, libraries must secure or pledge at least 50% of the total project cost and demonstrate a commitment to community involvement and educational programming.
