The Connecting Communities Digital Initiative encourages creators in Black, Indigenous, and communities of color to combine Library materials with technology to connect Americans with a more expansive understanding of our past and future.
Connecting Communities Digital Initiative Grants encourage digital programs that add and amplify the stories of people whose voices have traditionally been minimized, and innovatively incorporate Library collections. Applications are now open June 7, 2022 through the September 30, 2022 @ noon EST deadline for the 2023 opportunity.
