Revive Your Literacy Program
We provide $500 to past CLiF partners to help them revive enthusiasm for reading and writing programs.
Activities and Support
Successful grant recipients will choose from a menu of components with which they can plan program-wide literacy activities. Options include funds for new books, author visits, or materials to host a school-wide or family activity. In the grant application, programs will need to detail their plans to implement the grant prior to May 1, 2020.
To Apply
Applications are due January 17, 2020.
An organization, program, or facility must meet these requirements to apply for CLiF’s Revive Your Literacy Programming Grant:
