Get ready for an exciting Summer of Reading Exploration! Applications for our Summer 2025 literacy-focused mini grants are now open. These grants fund innovative literacy projects that complement your summer program. You can apply for support to pilot one of our creative ideas—including eye-catching Book Stands (displays of books available for use in your program and for young readers to take home), designated program reading areas, engaging literacy clubs—or your own unique literacy project concept. Each pilot project also receives funding for a related Family Engagement activity or event.
Before you apply, please review the Summer of Reading Exploration Info Sheet. Complete your application by Monday, April 21 at 5 pm Central. Direct any questions and send completed applications to Stephanie Vadnais at svadnais@nebraskachildren.org.
