Ezra Jack Keats Accepting Applications From Public Schools and Libraries

"The Ezra Jack Keats Foundation, created by the children's book author and illustrator, is accepting applications from public schools and libraries anywhere in the United States and its protectorates for program or event mini-grants of $500 each.

Funds will not be granted for general operating costs, administrative costs, transportation, or the purchase of books, tapes, software, or equipment unrelated to a specific program described.

Only one application will be considered from each library or school. Applications for programs being held in any type of private or parochial school or library will not be considered." Deadline: September 15, 2007
