Youth Literacy Grants – Apr 27

Posted by Dollar General Literacy Foundation on April 18, 2023

Dollar General Literacy Foundation invites applications for youth literacy programs

The Dollar General Literacy Foundation was established in 1993 in honor of Dollar General’s co-founder, J.L. Turner, a farmer’s son with only a third-grade education.

In keeping with that spirit, the foundation invites applications for its Youth Literacy Grants program. Through the program, grants of up to $4,000 will be awarded to schools, public libraries, and nonprofit organizations in support of efforts to help students who are reading below grade level or experiencing difficulty reading.

The program supports the implementation or expansion of new or existing literacy programs, the purchase of new technology or equipment to support literacy initiatives, and/or the purchase of books, materials, or software for literacy programs.

For complete program guidelines, a list of 2022 grant recipients and application instructions, see the Dollar General Literacy Foundation website.

Deadline: April 27, 2023 at 10:00 p.m. CT
