Have You Signed Up for a GrantWatch Library License?

If you are a library and you haven’t heard about the GrantWatch Library License, you may be missing out on valuable resources for not only your staff but also the patrons who visit your library. Public and school libraries can all benefit from providing access to grants. Having grant information available at your library helps you add to the resources you offer to better serve your community. Grants can provide funding for students, teachers, researchers, individuals, and workers, as well as opportunities for your library.

What is a GrantWatch Library License?

The GrantWatch Library License is an affordable way to get access to these grants. The license allows anywhere from 3 to 400 users to log onto GrantWatch and see paid grant information. Libraries who choose to purchase a library license will be provided with a specific URL. This link will provide site-wide access when a user clicks on it within the proximity of the WIFI using the same or multiple or a proxy IP address provided to GrantWatch by the subscribing organization. The cost is based on the number of simultaneous users requested and paid for by the organization.

What are The Benefits of a GrantWatch Library License?

With GrantWatch, libraries can find funding for capital expenses such as building renovations as well as grants for staff training, equipment, and programming. Additionally, patrons can search for grants for their own needs. Many underserved individuals rely on libraries for access to the Internet, crucial employment resources, and other forms of assistance. Libraries with enhanced grant search capabilities get a double benefit from the GrantWatch search database. They can use it to fund their own programs and expenses and also help patrons find funding for individuals.

K-12 school libraries, as well as university libraries, can also utilize the GrantWatch Library License. GrantWatch helps students, teachers, and school staff find education grants for scholarships, classroom projects, additional curriculum, and school resources. University professors and students may also take advantage of the library license for research grants as well as fellowships.
