Post: Need Funds/Grant for a Community Library
Posted by Kansas Teacher on 5/01/09
Help. We need to find funds to complete a community
library that we've been working on building for our small
rural Kansas community. Piles of wet lumber are out in all
the floods we've had this Spring. We've been working on
this for the past three years & are so tired! We've tried
many state & federal grants, but they all say something
doesn't work out. Mainly now, since the library is
partially built, there is not grant that fits that
criteria. We need a simple way to raise the additional
funds needed & maybe even hire some help to finish the
project. The library has been built by all volunteer
labor. We have professionals who donated their time -
Englineer, Gen. Contractor, Plumber, Electrician,etc. Now
everyone has "gone away" as they are all too tired. I am
overwhelmed with this responsiblity. I've written many
grants & made it into the second & third rounds only to be
told, "You were our second choice" several times. Anyone
with any ideas? THanks very much.
