Empowering Communities Through Community Coalition Grant Initiative
The Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy and the Get Georgia Reading Campaign for Grade-Level Reading are pleased to support the FY2024 Community Coalition Grant Initiative, including five Georgia Family Connection Collaboratives. The Deal Center is investing in projects that use the four research-based pillars of the Get Georgia Reading Campaign as a framework for cross-sector collaboration, to advance developmentally responsive practices throughout a community, town, city, and/or county. This initiative funds projects that foster optimal conditions for educational, social, language, literacy, and/or cognitive development for Georgia’s children from birth through age 5.
