WiLS Ideas to Action Fund: 2024 Proposal Form
The WiLS Ideas to Action Fund provides grants of up to $5,000 so member organizations can bring their project ideas to life. The Fund encourages partnerships and collaborations among WiLS members and with community partners, supports innovative and exploratory new work within the Wisconsin library community, and seeds the development of processes, methods, or resources that can be used by other WiLS members.

Proposals for the 2024 Ideas to Action Fund can be submitted through June 3, 2024. Awards will be announced in September 2024 and funds will be distributed soon after.
