This grant is offered to Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Chapters who partner with local 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations to develop or promote Literacy Enrichment programs for under-served or under-resourced children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. These programs should focus on addressing the inequities in education resources caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic and the swift move to online and virtual learning by many school districts.
