Literacy Project Implementation Grant Final Report (Word)
The above final report should be filed within 90 days of completing the project. We prefer final reports be submitted electronically by copying the form and emailing it to us at info@mainereads.org. Our goal is to post these reports on our website.
The Board of Trustees of Maine Reads has determined that libraries are not required to re-apply for planning grants annually, but every three years, instead, to be eligible for future implementation grant funding. Future implementation grant requests should respond to a community need discovered through the planning grant process, however. You may apply for implementation grants annually, although we caution that recipients should not necessarily anticipate funding of consecutive year grants.
We would very much appreciate hearing in advance about any programs you present through Maine Reads funding as we may be able to provide additional publicity. Please feel free to add us to the press list for the project. We are also interested in receiving copies of publicity the project receives. Photos of your project, which we may use in our efforts to promote Verizon’s Check Into Literacy program (which helps fund the Maine Reads Community Literacy Project to a large degree) are also of interest. When promoting your project, please acknowledge that it was made possible or made possible in part by Maine Reads.
