Jenna:  You'll want to contact the SOS Office at the State Library to
get a copy of the Request for Proposal.  There are specific program
requirements in the grant.  Their number is 217785-6921.  Ask how you
can get a copy of the RFP.  Laura Bercovitz

Subject: [NIFL-FAMILY:1386] Illinois Secretary of State Family Literacy
Grant


As an M.L.I.S. candidate at Dominican University in River Forest,
Illinois, I
am currently enrolled in a challenging course called "Literacy and
Library
Involvement."  Part of the course requires that I work with a student
team to
develop a family literacy grant proposal suitable for submission to the
Illinois Secretary of State Literacy Office.

Our student team is charged with developing partnerships between a
public
library, an adult education provider, and a child-at-risk agency as well
as
designing a family literacy program tailored to a community that
demonstrates
the need for such a program.  As we prepare the grant proposal, we are
responsible for coordinating all aspects of program planning and design.

As someone new to grant writing, what general suggestions might any of
you
have for me as I become involved with this process?  I am particularly
interested in the preparatory phase: tips/guidelines for establishing
effective partnerships, tailoring a program to meet the needs of a
community,
and marketing a program.

I would certainly appreciate any advice or wisdom that you're willing to
offer!

Cheers!
