Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation's Research Library Program

The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation's Research Library Program aims to improve the ability of research libraries to serve the needs of scholarship in the humanities and the performing arts and to help make their resources more widely accessible to scholars and the general public. Grants are given to help libraries promote cooperative cataloging projects, with an emphasis on archival, manuscript, and other unique resources, scholarly library publications, bibliographical and publishing projects of interest to research libraries, and preservation/conservation work and research.  

Organizations seeking funding, within the scope of the program guidelines, should send a letter of inquiry (2 pages) to the Foundation. There are no application deadlines for these programs; inquiries are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

B.H. Breslauer Foundation for rare books and manuscripts

The B.H. BreslauerFoundation gives grants to libraries and nfp's that collect rare books and manuscripts. 

Applications for grants to make specific acquisitions can be made by correspondence, e-mail, or telephone. They should be accompanied by as much relevant documentation as possible on the desired acquisition, as well as precise information on provenance and price. Because of the nature of the rare book market and the auction process, the officers of the foundation generally make the effort to respond promptly. 

There's no deadline, this is an ongoing program.
