What the grant funds
Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) grants seek to fulfill the mission of the Library of Congress to use its collections to connect with those representing diverse communities, beliefs, and endeavors to engage, inspire, and inform Congress and the American people with a universal and enduring source of knowledge and creativity. TPS grants build a nationwide network of organizations that deliver professional development, write curriculum, and create apps and interactives based on the Library’s digitized primary sources. The Library of Congress awards grants to a wide variety of organizations, including K-12 schools, universities, literacy organizations, centers, clubs, historical societies, museums, libraries, associations of home-schooling parents and care-givers, honor societies, and other community, civic, professional, state, regional, and national groups that expand the body of innovative strategies, tools, and materials for meaningful teaching and learning with Library of Congress materials. All proposals must be submitted electronically via email to Phoebe Coleman at tps-grant@loc.gov. Proposals submitted through Grants.gov will not be accepted.
