Grant History

Over the years, the NHLF has awarded more than $3M, funding programs from Maine to California and Florida to Alaska.

Whether the grants fund books for adults learning English, for preschoolers in home daycare situations or libraries in public schools, they all have one thing in common - they meet a need for a population that might not otherwise be able to have and use, and most of all, enjoy, books.
