Disney Minnie Grants Available to Support Youth Service Projects Deadline: August 30, 2007 http://ysa.org/AwardsGrants/tabid/58/Default.aspx From the web site: "The Walt Disney Company and Youth Service America are pleased to announce grants of up to $500 to support youth-led service projects. These grants support youth (ages 5-14) in planning and implementing service projects in their community. Teachers, older youth (15-25), youth-leaders, and youth-serving organizations are also eligible to apply, provided that they that engage younger youth (5-14) in planning and implementing the service. Service can take place between October 1 and November 26, 2007. Projects can address themes such as the environment, disaster relief, public health and awareness, community education, hunger, literacy, or any issue that youth identify as a community need." Since literacy is listed as an area of support, perhaps libraries can apply for funds to support their Teen Read Week efforts.
