First Lady’s Family Literacy Initiative for Texas – Applications Due March 5

The First Lady’s Family Literacy Initiative for Texas, a program of The Barbara Bush Texas Fund for Family Literacy, announces its 2010 grant competition. The grants of up to $50,000 each are given to enable an established literacy program to build on existing service to a single generation, i.e., children or adults, and create a complete family literacy program.

A successful grant application includes clearly stated objectives, along with a solid assessment plan to measure progress toward those objectives. Collaborative partnerships with other community groups are strongly encouraged.

The deadline for submitting applications is Friday, March 5, with Grant winners announced in May 2010.  For more information go to the website
