Over the past five years, a diverse array of government agencies and private foundations has awarded grant funding to the Digital Public Library of America. Despite differing missions, these organizations have recognized DPLA’s potential with support for planning, human resources, hub development, and special initiatives tackling issues such as education and rights statements. During this session, a small group of DPLA funders will discuss how this landmark project responds to their respective missions and priorities. Session attendees will learn more about grant-funded projects undertaken by DPLA and partners, as well as funding opportunities for future work that may leverage or enhance DPLA. A Q&A will follow brief presentations from each funder.
