Overview
Curently, details of the FY2007 Community Collaboration
Grant program have not been finalized. Check back for
information and updates on this program.
The Partnership for a Nation of Learners
is a leadership initiative of the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting (CPB) and the Institute of Museum and Library
Services, formed in 2004. It encourages libraries, museums
and public broadcasters to work collaboratively to address
local needs, increase civic engagement and improve the
quality of life in communities across the country. The
initiative includes a competitive grant program, professional
development activities, and online resources, available
at www.partnershipforlearners.org.
Eligibility
All types of libraries, except federal and forprofit
libraries, may apply. Eligible libraries include public,
school, academic, special, private (not-for-profit),
archives, library agencies, library consortia, and library
associations. In addition, research libraries and archives
that give the public access to services and materials
suitable for scholarly research not otherwise available
and that are not part of a university or college are
eligible. Digital libraries that make library materials
publicly available and provide services including selection,
organization, description, reference, and preservation
under the supervision of at least one permanent professional
staff librarian are eligible to apply. Institutions
of higher education, including public and not-for-profit
universities and colleges, also are eligible. An academic
unit, such as a graduate school of library and information
science, may apply as part of an institution of higher
education. Library applicants may apply individually
or as partners.
Museums that fulfill the Eligibility
Criteria for Museums may apply. Private not-for-profit
museum services organizations or associations that engage
in activities designed to advance the well-being of
museums and the museum profession also may apply. In
addition, institutions of higher education, including
public and not-for-profit universities, are eligible.
Public broadcasting applicants and official
partners must be noncommercial television or radio licensees
that currently receive an annual CPB Community Service
Grant (CSG). Applicants will be required to provide
their CSG identification numbers. More information is
available at www.partnershipforlearners.org.
Applicants may prepare and submit multiple
proposals in a given fiscal year. However, the same
proposal may not be submitted under more than one category.

to another. See Program Guidelines for specific eligibility
criteria.
