The Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy is pleased to announce our 2009 national grant competition. The Foundation's grant-making program seeks to develop or expand projects that are designed to support the development of literacy skills for adult primary care givers and their children. A total of approximately $650,000 will be awarded; no grant request should exceed $65,000.
Family Literacy programs funded through the Foundation's National Grant Program must include all of the following components:
· Reading instruction for parents or primary care-givers
· (pre-GED/GED/ESL etc.) literacy or pre-literacy instruction for children
· Intergenerational activities where the parents/primary caregivers and children come together to learn and to read.
Programs can also include additional components such as parent support groups, parent involvement, home visits, and job training.
