Program Overview
*Talk Story: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture* is a literacy program that
reaches out to Asian Pacific American (APA) and American Indian/Alaska
Native (AIAN) children and their families. The program celebrates and
explores Asian Pacific American (APA) and American Indian/Alaska Native
(AIAN) stories through books, oral traditions, and art to provide an
interactive, enriching experience. Children and their families can connect
to rich cultural activities through *Talk Story* in their homes, libraries,
and communities. This grant is aimed to give financial support to libraries
and community organizations who want to introduce a *Talk Story* program
into their library, focusing on APA or AIAN cultures.

*Talk Story* grant funding is available due to the generous support of
Toyota Financial Services.

Eligibility
Libraries and community organizations that serve APA and/or AIAN children
and their families are eligible to apply. We encourage libraries and
community organizations to work together on a *Talk Story* program. With
the exception of cross-border tribal organizations, all organizations must
be based in the United States or U.S. territories.

Organizations who have previously been awarded two *Talk Story* grants are
ineligible for additional awards.

Application

Please submit a complete and detailed application including a Statement of
Need, Narrative, and Proposed Budget. Please describe the program your
library or community organization would do with the award and what types of
programs highlighting APA or AIAN cultures you are interested in planning
for your community.

You may apply for either an APALA grant OR an AILA grant. You may not apply
to both organizations.

Deadline and Application

Applications must be received by Wednesday, March 1, 2017
Awards will be announced by Friday, March 31, 2017
