Just learned about this and thought I'd share. I've never heard of this opportunity before:

"The Wish You Well Foundation supports programs that foster and promote “the development and expansion of new and existing literacy and educational programs.” If your school or organization has developed a project that supports and promotes literacy, this is the grant program for you."

When we diminish a child's reading choice, we diminish the child who made that choice. - Donalyn Miller
