The Partnership for a Nation of Learners supports museums, libraries, public broadcasters, and their communities in a number of ways:
Grant Support
We provide grant support to new and existing partnerships and the infrastructure/technologies that enable them. We have recently awarded our first seven Community Collaboration Grants, for a total of $1.4 million, and have released grant guidelines for 2006.
Online Resources
We have created and compiled online resources to help practitioners and planners in the field explore the partnering process and develop the capacity to collaborate effectively.
Professional Development
We offer professional development events including a national videoconference, workshops at museum, library and public broadcasting conferences, and a series of instructional webcasts.
