The Fellowes Athenaeum Fund Advisory Committee is pleased to announce this Request for Proposals to support the Dudley Branch Library in its mission to provide a variety of literary and instructive programming for the Roxbury community.
Our vision for the Library is to see it invigorated by programs that can increase its use, circulation and visibility.
In keeping with the tradition of the Athenaeum as ‘a literary association for the promotion of learning’, our goal is to strengthen the Dudley Branch as a source of information and cultural enrichment.
We seek interesting ways to utilize our resources and spaces -- for everyday use, for special programs, for everyone. We seek ideas for activities that will engage people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
If you intend to submit a proposal, it is in your best interest to attend one or both of the Technical Assistance Sessions listed on the previous page. These sessions are an open forum where you can ask questions about the application process, and get a clear idea of our service goals. You may also tour the branch and meet the staff.
We urge you to read this RFP thoughtfully and completely, in order to fully understand the funding requirements and the environment in which your program would be carried out.
You are also encouraged to contact the project manager with any questions as you develop your program and while you are writing your proposal.
We wish you the very best in your work.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Arana-Ortiz

I. BACKGROUND
Grants from the Fellowes Athenaeum Fund are made possible by the generosity of Caleb and Sarah Fellowes, a merchant seaman and his wife, who lived in the Roxbury Highlands during the mid-1800’s. A trust was established from their estates, “to be used for an Athenaeum for literary and instructive purposes” for the benefit of inhabitants of Roxbury “and other worthy persons who may visit that city[1]”. In 1873, the Fellowes Athenaeum opened on Millmont Street as a branch of the Boston Public Library, with nearly 5000 volumes. During the Urban Renewal era, a century later, the Fellowes Athenaeum and the Mount Pleasant Branch Library (now the Vine Street Community Center) were merged into the new Dudley Street Branch Library, and the Fellowes Fund was brought under the administration of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston. Since 2004, the Fund has been overseen by the Fellowes Advisory Committee, which is comprised of members of the Trustees and management of the Boston Public Library, the President and a community representative member of the Friends of the Dudley Branch Library, the Dudley Branch Librarian, and local elected officials.
II. PURPOSE OF FUNDS
The Fellowes Athenaeum Fund is dedicated to supporting literary and instructive community programs at the Dudley Branch of the Boston Public Library.
Grants range from $200 - $500 for an event, and from $5000 - $7500 for a series of events or classes.
All grants are subject to the administrative guidelines of the Public Library of the City of Boston, municipal finance policies and procedures, and state contracting rules. Grants are made through cost-reimbursement contracts.
III. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS
This is a competitive process. The following eligibility criteria apply to all applicants:
- Services must be provided on the premises of the Dudley Branch Library.
- You must have demonstrated experience in providing effective services that are available to the general public.
- Individuals are eligible to apply as Vendors. A tax identification number will be required, if funded. Organizations must submit a copy of their 501(c)3 determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, if funded.
- Individuals or organizations with unsatisfactory performance on prior grants are not eligible to apply.
IV. MATCHING LIBRARY RESOURCES WITH FUNDING PRIORITIES
Boston Public Library collections and services are developed to meet the needs and interests of Children, Teens, and Adults (including Reference and Research).
Dudley Branch Library resources include books, magazines, music, movies, chess sets, board games, drums, piano keyboards, a piano, and computers (both Windows and Mac); audio-visual equipment; and community meeting spaces for both small and large groups.
The Dudley Branch holds the largest collection of African-American literature of all the branch libraries, and also contains materials on significant events in Roxbury history. The building also houses the Dudley Literacy Center of the Boston Public Library, a citywide resource center for learning to speak, read and write English, with a computer lab and classroom, as well as course materials for the MCAS, GED, SAT and other standardized tests, and US Citizenship resources .
The Boston Public Library is a collaborative member of the automated Metro-Boston Library Network. The MBLN catalog provides millions of books, CD’s, DVD’s, and audio books, covering all interests and facets of life. http://www.bpl.org/mbln/members.htm
Through the Regional Library System (www.bpl.org/brls/services/services.html ), you can borrow books from any public library in the state – if you are a registered borrower in good standing in your hometown library. Books can be delivered upon request, from one branch to another, as inter-library loans.
As you plan your program, you should look for ways to actively utilize and promote continuing use of Library resources, according to the needs and interests of the persons or groups who would participate in your program.
- Children (Preschool and Elementary Grades)
The Children’s Room has computers, picture books, cultural history and literature, fun math books, science project guides, encyclopedias, magazines and other juvenile literature. During the school year, homework assistance is available on Monday and Thursday evenings with a school teacher. The Children’s Room also has a central reading area, and comfortable furniture that is attractive for storytelling and reading aloud.
We seek activities that enrich early learning experiences, including (but not limited to):
1) Cultural Arts Education and Early Literacy
2) Family Literacy, Storytelling and Learning Games
3) Curriculum Enhancements for Pre-school, Kindergarten and Elementary School
Quiet activities are welcomed in the Children’s Room. Performing arts and large-group events need to be carried out in the Auditorium.
Interacting with children will require a CORI check. This is a City of Boston policy that all library programming must follow.
B. Teens (Middle School and High School students)
Most teens and tweens utilize the Dudley Branch’s computers and internet connectivity for social networking during out-of-school time. During the school year, homework assistance is available, Monday through Thursday, from a peer tutor/mentor. Young people have expressed a preference for the following activities:
1) Spoken Word, Creative Writing and Contemporary Literature
2) Job Search and College Applications; Scholarship Applications
3) Piano, Guitar and Voice Lessons
Your proposal must demonstrate proven strategies for youth engagement as well as cultural competency with teens. You must agree to a CORI check. Most youth activities that involve groups, are best carried out in the small conference room (Room B) or the Auditorium.
C. Adults
Computers, community development, the arts, chess, cultural events, research, creative writing and continuing education are the primary interests of adult library users. Adults have expressed a preference for the following types of activities:
1) Adult Literacy, Basic Education, High School Completion, Distance Learning
2) Job Training and Job Search Assistance, including Online Resources
3) Workshops on Autism and Special Needs, Wellness, Citizenship
4) Basic Internet Training
