Native Hawaiian Library Services Grants (2025): The Native Hawaiian Library Services (‘NH’) program is designed to assist Native Hawaiian serving organizations in sustaining and improving library services with their communities. As information needs change, Native Hawaiian organizations must be able to serve as knowledge and resource centers to benefit their users and the wellness of their communities. The NH program supports organizations across the islands and country to address their individual information needs and priorities. Projects may involve, but are not limited to, activities such as: educational programming for all ages; oral history collection and documentation; digital media and technology enhancements; institutional planning and policy development; professional training, internships, and mentorships; supporting and engaging with cultural practitioners and scholars; research and development of language and cultural material and tools; digitization and digital preservation; and furnishing of library spaces for staff and public within existing constructed spaces (please note that IMLS funds are not allowed for construction).
