ALA's Cultural Communities Fund (CCF) supports the library programs that bring us all together and make us think a little bigger.
As you make your end-of-year donations, help our communities shine a little brighter with a tax-deductible donation at ala.org/CCF.
What is CCF?
Created by ALA's Public Programs Office, CCF supports excellence and innovation in community-focused library programming. With the generosity of individual and corporate donors, the fund has grown to $2 million, providing crucial support for:
- grants and awards that recognize excellence and promote innovation in library programming and community engagement
- professional development opportunities, both in-person and online, for library workers at libraries of all types
- this very website, ProgrammingLibrarian.org, ALA's online community dedicated to library programs
- and much more
If you are reading this website — or if you have taken part in a Programming Librarian webinar, applied for an ALA Public Programs Office grant or taken part in the Programming Librarian Interest Group's Facebook page — you have benefited from CCF. Donate online.
