Henrico’s READ Center (Reading and Education for Adult Development) earned $8,000 from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation earlier this month.
READ’s funding was part of more than $155,000 funding given to Virginia organizations and $8.2 million granted nationally by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation to support adult, family and summer literacy programs.
Grants awarded to Virginia organizations are expected to impact more than 16,000 people; a comprehensive list of grant recipients can be found at this link.
“We are proud to offer grants to schools, libraries and nonprofit organizations that help increase access to education and inspire innovation, helping to build brighter futures for all families,” said Denine Torr, executive director of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
