Call for Proposals: CollectionBuilder Community Developer program
<https://collectionbuilder.github.io/community/developer-program.html> - we
are accepting proposals for short, one time contract awards ($3,500 to
$5,000) to develop new enhancements and resources around CollectionBuilder.
Do you have an idea to enhance or build on CollectionBuilder that you would
like to develop and release to the community? The Community Developers
Program is a grant funded opportunity that will support a wide variety of
projects that enhance, extend, experiment with, and/or document
CollectionBuilder. “Developers” is defined broadly to include anyone with
the skills and enthusiasm necessary to carry out the proposed enhancement
and deliver in the short timeline–please remember CollectionBuilder is
developed by librarians! We hope folks have great ideas for new resources
that we can fund!
Visit the program page
<https://collectionbuilder.github.io/community/developer-program.html> for
all the details and submit via our short proposal form by October 9th, 2026.
The timeline for the projects is relatively short, everything needs to be
completed by February 2027. A bit more than a year ago there was chaos as
our IMLS funding was terminated (like so many grants across America),
disrupting our programs and planning. Then we had the uncertainty of our
funding being restored and scrambling to figure out how we could salvage
our initial plans. Now the grant period is coming to a close, we are hoping
this opportunity will jump start some new developers, create new resources,
and help us wrap up strong.
Please get in touch
<https://collectionbuilder.github.io/cb-docs/#how-to-get-in-touch> if you
have any questions!
