FYI -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myra Arredondo Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 4:04 PM To: SYSCON (E-mail); TexShare (E-mail) Subject: [texshare-users] First Lady's Family Literacy Initiative grants First Lady's Family Literacy Initiative for Texas Please note: 2006 grant application will be made available on FEBRUARY 1, 2006. The First Lady's Family Literacy Initiative for Texas, a program of The Barbara Bush Texas Fund for Family Literacy, announces their 2006 grant competition. Laura Bush, who founded this Initiative when she was first lady of Texas, continues to serve as Honorary Chair. The Texas Center for Adult Literacy and Learning at Texas A&M University provides technical assistance to the family literacy programs funded each year. As of July, 2005, the Initiative had awarded over $2 million to 100 programs in 59 cities across the state. 2006 will mark the 11th annual competition. The grants of up to $25,000 each are given to help create family literacy programs by building on existing literacy programs that work with only one generation, i.e. children or adults, so that complete family literacy programs can be created. The grant program also funds innovative projects within existing family literacy programs, as well as replication of successful family literacy programs with new populations or in new locations. Partnerships with other community groups are strongly encouraged. The 2006 application and guidelines will be available Feb.1, and can be downloaded at www-tcall.tamu.edu (note the hyphen after www instead of a period), or email your request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more information about these grants please contact Pat Peebler at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or phone 713.336.7889.
