</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My thanks for considering our request. Specifically, volunteers from all organizations will be trained to respond to requests for assistance. ALA has an existing toolkit that we will receive, plus training for the project leader. Volunteers
are expected to maintain confidentiality when handling requests, identifying circumstances where further support is needed from FLA or other in-state groups, and advancing to ALA when necessary. Jenny, FLA's Intellectual Freedom Committee, and myself can provide
feedback when handling requests. I expect that we will need a group of volunteers who are interested and committed to providing peer-to-peer support for colleagues across the field (K-12, public, and academic).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are not expecting any financial commitment from FACRL since the grant will cover most associated costs. However, we expect to be able to use grant funds for state conferences (like FAME). We are also hoping that FACRL will promote the
helpline to its members and beyond during the two-year period and beyond.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALA has specifically asked for in-state partners on this grant. This is an opportunity for FLA and FACRL to work together on the issue of material challenges. We have also asked FAME to partner with us and are waiting for their leadership
to confirm. I expect that there will be a taskforce that will operate across organizations to coordinate the work, so some meetings will be expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I am writing on behalf of the Florida Library Association to request your organization's support as a partner in our application for an American Library Association grant. FLA is
drafting an application for the State Intellectual Freedom Helpline Grant. This program is designed to enhance available resources for those working to address in-state challenges to intellectual freedom. The helpline will connect those seeking assistance
with trained volunteers who will provide confidential feedback and guidance within the limits set by the program (for example, volunteers cannot provide legal advice). This program will also develop our capacity to record additional data on challenges in Florida
for ALA. Please see the link at the end of this message for more information.<br>
<br>
FLA will manage the grant and I will serve as project leader. We are seeking support from other state associations who are facing similar issues. The grant will provide $10,000 over two years. Our plan is to use these funds, as specified in the grant, to promote
the project, including funding approved travel. In terms of commitment from FACRL, we are primarily asking for volunteers to help support the program. Volunteers will receive training and coordinate their work with FLA. Grant funds can be used to defray costs
for volunteers to state or regional conferences.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">ALA has asked recipients to demonstrate the project is sustainable beyond the initial two-year period, and we are asking that FACRL continue to support the program with volunteers.
We are open to discussing any additional roles for FACRL members.<br>
<br>
If you are interested, and a more formal arrangement is preferred, we can work to draft a memorandum of understanding outlining the commitments for each organization. Please note that the grant deadline is July 14th, and we are close to finishing the application.
We would very much like to have FACRL as a partner on this project. At minimum, we request your permission to name FACRL as a partner for the application. Can your organization provide a response by Thursday, July 11th?<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please let me know. I am copying Jenny Abdelnour, FLA's Executive Director, who will help to manage the grant.<br>
