Visualizing Funding for Libraries, a Knight Foundation News Challenge winning project, enables library professionals and supporters to search for institutional funding for libraries at the national, state, and local levels. Data visualizations such as maps, network constellations, and partnership pathways showcase key networks of funders and recipients as well as individual grants which highlight what library services and programs are winning grants. Tkacik introduces participants to this dynamic and freely available mapping tool, provides pro tips on navigating the tool, and outlines next steps on how to pursue new funding opportunities.
