Grant for Nonprofit Collecting Organizations to Digitize Underrepresented Collections

Supports nonprofit collecting organizations in digitizing rare and unique materials that deepen public understanding of underrepresented communities, including people of the global majority, disabled populations, Indigenous voices, LGBTQ+ communities, immigrants, displaced persons, and the incarcerated. The program centers five core values: public knowledge, broad representation, authentic partnerships, sustainable infrastructures, and community-centered access. Applications are evaluated by an independent review panel in a two-stage process.
