 Family Literacy Grants


The Dollar General Family Literacy Grants provide funding to family literacy service providers. Please note that the Dollar General Literacy Foundation uses the federal government’s definition of family literacy when reviewing grant applications. Family literacy programs applying for funding must have the following four components:

  • Adult education instruction
    • Adult basic education
    • GED preparation
    • English for speakers of other languages
  • Children’s education
  • Parent and child together time (PACT)
  • Parenting classes that teach parents to be the primary teacher for their child
