The Dollar General Literacy Foundation (DGLF) announced the award of more than $2.1 million in literacy grants to Tennessee nonprofit organizations, libraries and schools.
The funds are a part of a record-setting, one-day donation in the Foundation’s history of more than $13.2 million to support adult, family, and summer literacy programs in the 48 states in which Dollar General operates.
“For over 30 years, the Foundation has been investing in literacy and basic education programs in our hometown communities,†Denine Torr, executive director of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, said. “Today’s grant announcement is a celebration of our unwavering commitment to student and teacher success. We are grateful to all the grant recipients for their commitment to advancing education and helping students thrive.â€
Tennessee recipients and a comprehensive list of grant recipients may be found online at . The grants awarded to Tennessee organizations are expected to positively impact the lives of more than 275,000 individuals.
These grants aim to support schools, public libraries, and nonprofit organizations within a 15-mile radius of a Dollar General store or distribution center in implementing new literacy initiatives or expanding existing ones.
Funding may be used to purchase new technology, books, materials or software to enhance literacy programs.Â
