Thinking about applying for a major Institute of Museum and Library Services grant this fall? Get started now. It might sound crazy, but you’ll be happy you did. Getting an IMLS grant award is a little like the lottery—if you don’t play, you can’t win. But success doesn’t depend on chance; it requires intentional planning. All month long, I’m going to be providing tips for getting #grantready. First up: Identify your project, then match it to the right grant program and category. If you’re unsure about which one, have a conversation with IMLS staff. (Yes, you can do that, and they are VERY helpful!)

As St. Patrick's Day approaches, let's imagine a world cloaked in green and gold, a future where Ireland hosts the largest annual global 'Luck of the Irish' lottery. For this #WhatIfWednesday, envision a 2035 where participants from every corner of the globe can enter for free to win one of 10 'pots of gold', valued at €100 million each, half of which would go to a charity the winner could choose. This lottery isn't just about the prize; it's a celebration of Irish culture and global goodwill. It brings together people of all nationalities in a shared moment of hope and excitement. The lottery becomes a symbol of unity and festivity, transcending borders and fostering a sense of global community and appreciation for St. Patrick's Day. Amidst the international revelry, critical questions emerge. How do we guarantee fairness and accessibility in the lottery, especially for those in remote or underprivileged regions? What measures can ensure the lottery's integrity and transparency? And importantly, could the allure of such a grand prize inadvertently fuel gambling tendencies or create unrealistic aspirations among participants? In one envisioned future, the 'Luck of the Irish' lottery becomes a beacon of global unity and joy, fostering a deeper appreciation for Irish culture and the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. In another scenario, the lottery becomes entangled in ethical dilemmas and regulatory debates, struggling to balance its cultural significance with responsible gaming practices. As we dream of this pot of gold at the end of the global rainbow, we are compelled to reflect – is it possible for a simple game of chance to unify the world in a celebration of culture and heritage, or does it risk overshadowing the true essence of cultural exchange and global goodwill? #GlobalIrishLottery #StPatricksDay2035 #CulturalCelebration #GoodwillGlobally #StPatricksDay
