Eligible Entities
Through their governing authority, accredited public libraries, local public library systems, libraries that are members of the TexShare Library Consortium, or nonprofit organizations that are applying on behalf of accredited libraries and/or TexShare members, are eligible to apply for funds. Public library applicants must be accredited by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for the fiscal year in which the grant contracts are issued.
An nonprofit organization is eligible only if its organizational charter, operating guidelines, or mission statement includes providing direct support for affiliated library activities and goals as a defined objective. A nonprofit organization that is organized to raise funds and provide services and other benefits to an accredited library, also known as a “friends group,” is eligible to apply for a grant on behalf of a library only if the friends group is also the fiscal agent for the library.
Focus Area
TexTreasures Grants are designed to help libraries make their special collections more accessible for the people of Texas and beyond. Activities considered for possible funding include: digitization, microfilming, and cataloging.
There are two options for funding under the TexTreasures program. TexTreasures Basic is designed for small libraries with little or no experience with digitization. TexTreasures Original support libraries seeking to provide access to collections of statewide interest and greater complexity.
