The mission of Beyond Words is to provide disaster relief to public school libraries in communities with Dollar General stores, offering support in the aftermath of natural disasters, fires, or federally recognized acts of terrorism.
The Dollar General Literacy Foundation's Summer Reading Grant Program is designed to support the creation or expansion of summer reading programs. These programs target Pre-K to 12th grade students who are new readers, below grade level readers, or readers with learning disabilities. The grants are available to local nonprofit organizations, schools, and libraries that meet the eligibility criteria and are situated within a 15-mile radius of a Dollar General store.
