Maybe there\u2019s a local trove of unique documents that are historically important. Or thousands of photos recovered from a private collection after a disaster. No matter the source, imaginations run high and big, lofty goals are set. A hopeful dollar figure is calculated and the quest for a grant begins\u2026only to end in disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>Why? The goal is good, the materials are fantastic, the benefit to the community is apparent. In my experience, the search for the \u201cMillion Dollar Grant\u201d often fails because it doesn\u2019t follow these six important steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Step 1: Secure a $1,000 grant.<\/li>\n<li>Step 2: Secure a $5,000 grant.<\/li>\n<li>Step 3: Secure a $10,000 grant\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>You get the picture\u2026but do they?<\/h2>\n<p>OK, I admit it\u2019s a cheesy way to introduce the topic. Steps 4\u20136 are, obviously, go get increasingly larger grants until you land the \u201cbig money\u201d that you need to create your digital dream collection. But I\u2019m absolutely serious\u2014the best way to convince a grant-making entity to fund your program is to have a demonstrated series of successes with other grants. And just like with your career, you can\u2019t start out in your dream job, you often have to work your way up from the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Because while you may have a clear picture in your head of what success looks like, the grant making agency doesn\u2019t. <em>Their<\/em> picture is of <em>you <\/em>and your library\u2019s history, reputation and experience. There are almost always lots of people applying for the same grant money. In order for your project to be successful, you have to demonstrate not just that you\u2019ve got a great idea, but that you\u2019ve got the know-how to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p><em>[bctt tweet=&#8221;Grants for digital collections require both a great idea and demonstrated know-how.&#8221;]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So start small. Find a project you can do that will require many of the same steps as your dream grant, but with lower time, partnership and money commitments. This will give you a chance to practice the process, get some experience and refine your story.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get that first, small grant? Get good at setting goals<\/h2>\n<p>I support Stephen Covey\u2019s advice of \u201calways begin with the end in mind.\u201d In other words, be goal-oriented. In many cases, libraries think of the \u201cgoal\u201d as being \u201cget this collection digitized and online.\u201d Wrong! That\u2019s not a goal, that\u2019s one activity or tactic. Grant makers are interested in goals that emphasize benefits to the communities and people they support. You need to relate your project to their goals. Here are some tips on how to get that thought process started. Work with your colleagues and supervisors to identify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The benefits the program will have to your library<\/li>\n<li>The audiences you will reach in the community<\/li>\n<li>Benefits to the community\u2014think \u201cbefore and after\u201d when describing<\/li>\n<li>Measurements of those benefits<\/li>\n<li>What success looks like at different times along the way<\/li>\n<li>What next steps will take your goals even further<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For every partner involved, it\u2019s important to have an idea of what success means to them.<\/p>\n<p>As you go through the proposal process, take what you learn from each grant application and put it toward the next grant application. It\u2019s also important to share your successes with other libraries. That will help them in their grant-applying process as well as help you receive future grants.<\/p>\n<h2>When you\u2019re ready to ask for that first, small grant<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s smart to start by looking for grants that don\u2019t require matching funding, since that would essentially double your work. Are there local foundations that support efforts like this? Maybe your state library has a digitization program? The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.in.gov\/library\/files\/2016_Indiana_Memory_Digitization_Grant_Guidelines.pdf\">Indiana Memory Digitization Grant guidelines<\/a> are a good example.<\/p>\n<p>There are many resources to help you with this process. Sometimes, the granting organization even provides resources for writing a winning grant application. Here are some examples that give you an idea of how to proceed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imls.gov\/news-events\/upnext-blog\/2015\/12\/putting-your-best-foot-forward-tips-making-your-preliminary-proposal\">Tips On Making Your Preliminary Proposal Competitive<\/a> (IMLS)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sloan.org\/grants\/apply#tab-tips-for-writing-a-successful-grant-proposal\">Tips for writing a successful grant proposal<\/a> (Alfred P.
