Native American Library Services Enhancement Grants (2027)

Institute of Museum and Library Services · NAG-ENHANCEMENT-FY27 · Deadline: November 13, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $150k

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 45.311, Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $10k against a $150k ceiling (7%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 348 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.

Listing summary

The Native American Library Services Enhancement Grants program (NAE) assists eligible Native Communities in sustaining and improving library services with their communities. As information needs change, Tribal libraries must be able to serve as knowledge and resource centers to benefit their users and the wellness of their communities. The program supports Native Communities across the country to address their individual information needs and priorities.
