The Literacy Lab’s Post

Northern Virginia is facing a big challenge. Only 29% of children living at or near the poverty line attend preschool in Northern Virginia. This puts one of our area’s most vulnerable populations at risk of falling behind. Our free preschool programs serve children who would otherwise be deprived of a preschool experience without this option. And, AART focuses on the whole family, not just the student! We collaborate with families to support their child’s journey and strengthen the parent/school relationship. We envision a future where all children, especially our most vulnerable, enter school prepared to learn and succeed. We strive for universal access to preschool as a part of public education, making the need for AART obsolete.

Friends and colleagues, in 2021, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation recognized that traditional scholarship application timelines, including our own, didn't help students who were facing an urgent need that threatened their ability to complete their academic or trade programs. At that time, we started the Emergency Scholarship Fund, which helps students at critical junctures get the financial support they need while connecting them to our general scholarship resources for more sustainable future support. Half-completing a program doesn't offer much benefit in this world, especially with the accumulation of loan debt and heavy attention to credentials. All year long, this scholarship seeks to address the gap to keep students on track--and it's not limited to universities; colleges, trade programs, and certifications are all supported. Whether it's an overdue tuition bill, a testing fee, textbook costs, course fees to maintain professional licensure, or something else, this fund can help. We've received national recognition for this program and are actively fundraising for it during the month of April, as a generous donor has offered a match of $50,000. Please consider donating to help us raise $100,000--or at least introduce your local community foundation to this innovative model. https://lnkd.in/dmZTCEFm And for those who like numbers: This Emergency Scholarship Fund (ESF) has a pronounced impact on BIPOC students, as over half of our applicants and awardees are BIPOC. 20% of our ESF recipients are single parents, and over 90% of those who received the scholarship were still enrolled or graduated. 66% of recipients were more than halfway through their program, and over one-third were within a year of program completion. Most of us know that typical scholarship support dwindles in the later years, making this scholarship all the more useful.

Now's the time to GiveBig to adult learners. Textbooks are vital for students in their education, but we know these textbooks represent even more to students. They represent independence, stability, and belonging.Your donation deeply impacts Literacy Source students. Help us raise $4,000 for student textbooks. $20 provides a textbook for one student for one quarter. $80 provides a textbook for one student for one year. $400 provides textbooks for an entire class for one quarter. $1,600 provides textbooks for an entire class for one year. A donation of any amount is instrumental in accomplishing our mission and helping students become independent, stable and have a sense of belonging.

Hello Colleagues, Connections, and Friends! The CohnReznick LLP Charlotte office CARES initiative for July has been collecting donations for Classroom Central. Through their partnerships, each $1 donated becomes $9 worth of distributed supplies for students in our community. These donations give students the supplies they need for a successful school year. Every dollar donated (via the link below) through the end of the day today will go to purchasing kits that will be given to local students in need. We will assemble these kits ourselves, and deliver them to Classroom Central next month. Please consider making a small (or large) donation to our local students and teachers! Consider this insight from a 3rd-grade teacher in Charlotte: "There are always unseen challenges for students. As teachers, we strive to understand and address the struggles they face outside the classroom. When kids live in poverty and high-stress environments, focusing on learning to read or understand fractions becomes incrementally more difficult, not to mention the stress of worrying if they can get the necessary books and supplies they need to complete their homework and lessons. With the help of Classroom Central, I can alleviate at least one of their stressors, making it easier for them to feel capable and successful while they're at school." Thank you for any and all donations!! <3 https://lnkd.in/gQezNchQ

Imagine a child, full of dreams, standing on the edge of a brighter future, but held back by circumstances beyond their control. For orphans and the children of widows and single mothers, education is often the key to breaking free from the cycle of poverty and hardship. As the new school year approaches, these young hearts are eager to learn, but they need our help to make it to the classroom. By partnering with us for our Back to School 2024 event on September 7th, 2024, you can be the difference between a child staying in school or being forced to drop out. Your generosity will provide not just school supplies, but hope, dignity, and a chance for these children to pursue their dreams. Donate today and open the doors to a future filled with possibilities: Bank: FCMB Account Number: 8140614012 Account Name: Seed of Deborah Foundation To partner with us, please send an email to admin@seedofdeborah.com.ng. Let’s join hands to ensure no child is left behind. Together, we can create a future where every child has the opportunity to thrive. 🙌💖 #SocialImpact #CorporateResponsibility #EducationForAll #ChildWelfare #Philanthropy #EmpoweringCommunities #NonprofitLeadership #EducationalEquity #SupportChildren #PartnerForChange #LeadershipInAction #AfricaDevelopment #EducationalEmpowerment #SustainableDevelopment #InclusiveGrowth

Financial assistance, accessibility, or other relevant resources needed to balance life outside education are barriers for students looking to take the next step after community college. Prosperity Denver Fund partners with other nonprofits to increase the number of historically underserved Denver students who access scholarships, complete a postsecondary degree, and strengthen the local economy.
