ProLiteracy Offers Reading Materials for Literacy Programs

Deadline: April 14, 2008

ProLiteracy ( http://www.proliteracy.org/ <http://www.proliteracy.org/>
) is entering the thirteenth year of the National Book Scholarship Fund,
a project that supplies books and materials to local adult basic
education and literacy programs. The resources available through NBSF
are from New Readers Press ( http://www.proliteracy.org/go_nrp.asp
<http://www.proliteracy.org/go_nrp.asp> ),

the publishing division of ProLiteracy.

Programs providing direct service in the areas of basic liter- acy,
adult basic education, English-as-a-second-language, and family literacy
will be considered for support. NBSF grants are made in the form of the
New Readers Press materials requested in the grant proposal. Grants
typically average $500 to $2,000 each but can vary depending on the
needs of the applicant organization.

Programs awarded a grant must provide a cash contribution to ProLiteracy
equal to 20 percent of the grant award. These funds are used to defray
the costs of NBSF program administration.

Organizational members of ProLiteracy must provide a cash con- tribution
equal to 10 percent of the grant award.

and for complete grant program guidelines, visit the ProLiteracy Web
site.
