The mission of the National Book Fund (NBF) is to support adult education and literacy programs across the United States by providing New Readers Press books and educational resources. These resources aim to aid literacy initiatives, enhancing the learning experience for adults in need.
The Literacy Opportunity Fund is dedicated to supporting nonprofit organizations within the United States that offer direct literacy services to students. It provides grants ranging from $3,000 to $6,000 to assist with general operating costs, aiming to cater to literacy organizations of various types and sizes. This enables them to efficiently and effectively deliver services to students. The fund supports a wide range of operational expenses, including but not limited to salaries, technology, supplies, teacher stipends, equipment, and space rental. Organizations may apply for funding for general expenses or specific projects or programming efforts. The grants are awarded on a quarterly basis, with application reviews followed by notifications of approval or denial issued eight weeks post the submission deadline.
