Partnership Opportunities

The American Library Association collaborates with many organizations to help America’s libraries enhance library services and programs. These partnerships, grants, and contributions are important sources of support for ALA.  As you might expect, ALA receives many requests from a variety of organizations.  Because our resources are finite, we restrict our programs to those that most closely match our current strategic priorities.   We seek collaboration with organizations that offer a program of significant benefit to ALA and libraries.

To help us match your ideas to our programmatic activities, please complete the  Request for Collaboration form (opens in new window). Once you have submitted the form, a small administrative team shares your program proposal with the appropriate unit or units. This is the first step to planning a meeting to discuss ways to work together.

If, after you have reviewed the form, you determine that a sponsored partnership is not the right vehicle, please consider one of the other Marketing & Advertising Opportunities.
