Folks, there is SOOOO much information and SOOOOO many resources on the LINCS website, it is difficult to describe it all. So, for the next few days, I will be posting messages about some of the services you will find on the NIFL LINCS site. Thanks to David Rosen, I am simply cross-posting some of his messages to the NLA List on to this list. Enjoy....Lots of great sites for family literacy $$ also! See below. Nancy Sledd, NIFL-Family list moderator Training Specialist National Center for Family Literacy 325 West Main Street, Suite #200 Waterfront Plaza Louisville, KY 40202-4251 (502) 584-1133 ext.142 (502) 584-0172 fax The NIFL LINCS now has a comprehensive database of grant and other funding sources which adult literacy programs might pursue. Hundreds of sources are listed in an easily-searched database. click the *Grants and Funding* button on the leftsidebar at http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/ Then click the *refine search* button and choose what you're looking for. For example, I heard that the Spencer Foundation had funded at least one doctoral dissertation related to adult literacy in 2000, so I typed in *spencer* and learned from their 2000 annual report that there were 35 dissertation fellows. At least one, my esteemed adult literacy colleague Lorna Rivera, was listed. So here's a good example of one person who has opened a foundation door -- or widened it -- for adult literacy funding. Using the NIFL LINCS grants search, maybe others can open some doors, or maybe we'll have a crowd of literacy folks flowing through to sit at the big table! Lorna's dissertation is entitled _Learning Community: An Ethnographic Study of Popular Education and Homeless Women in a Shelter-Based Adult Literacy Program_. Sociology Department, Northeastern University. The Spencer Foundation will be found at 875 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 3930, Chicago, IL 60611-1803. http://www.spencer.org/ David J.
