Santa Fe Trail
RC&D Partners With Kearny County
For Grant
Resource Library
LAKIN,
KS --- At their Area
Council Meeting on September 18, 2000, the Santa Fe Trail Resource
Conservation and Development (RC&D) agreed to partner with the
Kearny County Library in their efforts to locate a Cooperating
Collection Site in their facility in Lakin.
The
Santa Fe Trail RC&D pledged $425.00 per year towards the annual
fee of $850.00 for the grant research library.
Participants
in the Foundation Center’s Cooperating Collections network are
libraries or nonprofit information centers that provide fundraising
information and other funding-related technical assistance in their
communities and surrounding areas.
Cooperating Collections agree to provide free public access
to a basic collection of Foundation Center publications during a
regular schedule of hours, offering free funding research guidance
to all visitors. Many
also provide a variety of services for local nonprofit
organizations, using staff or volunteers to prepare special
materials, organize workshops, or conduct orientations.

Santa Fe Trail RC&D has sponsored a series of grant writing
