Before you apply-- looks like the • Use the Am I Rural? tool to confirm your eligibility, as shown on the grant info sheet, attached to the email. This determines whether or not your library might qualify.
 We have a very rural district-- but not according to the guidelines. We don't qualify-- but many others will!

Grant opportunity! Sharing on behalf of the American Heart Association:

 

The American Heart Association is striving to meet rural communities where they are – and often that’s at the public library. We are offering up to $10,000 in grants to assist rural Midwest libraries with their capacity to be a change agent for health in their communities.  Around the country we have helped rural libraries address blood pressure control, improve nutrition security, assist with CPR readiness, and more. Small grants of $500-$1500 along with technical assistance from the American Heart Association will often be sufficient to make a sustainable impact. Apply using this brief survey by March 1, 2024. 

 

Attached you will also find a guide to celebrating American Heart Month and National Wear Red Day.
