As part of the Mellon grant-funded, Library of Congress-wide Of the People: Widening the Path program, the Connecting Communities Digital Initiative (CCDI) is also offering two exciting new grant opportunities to connect your community with the Library!

  1. The CCDI Grant Opportunity for Libraries, Archives, Museums: Designed to support libraries, archives, and museums, this opportunity will award three grants for up to $50,000 each for projects that creatively remix and reuse the Library’s digital collections and center the lives, experiences, and perspectives of Black, Indigenous, Hispanic and Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and/or other communities of color.
  2. The CCDI Grant Opportunity for Higher Education: Designed to support 2-year and 4-year minority serving higher education institutions, this opportunity will award three grants for up to $50,000 each for projects that creatively remix and reuse the Library’s digital collections and center the lives, experiences, and perspectives of Black, Indigenous, Hispanic and Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and/or other communities of color.
