Never wrote a grant application before? We can help! Check out our Fibre Library resource page for a quick descriptor that you can use to describe the opportunity of bringing a Fibre Library to your neighbourhood, and we even have a sample budget. You will have to tweak the language and budget according to your own project needs, but please feel free to use this as a starting point to make the application easier.

If you want to build your own Fibre Library, we also include a link to a website search for open-source architecture plans! And if you prefer to support other makers, a quick search on etsy can reveal some indie woodworkers that might be able to help. If you know of any local woodworkers that would like to sell these, please let us know and we can add it to our resource page as well!
