This grant is offered to 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that focus on programs for African American Families who are inherently under-served or under-resourced and face added stresses because of social injustices and in the aftereffects of a Global Health Pandemic. This grant should support programs that create or strengthen opportunities for educational or economic growth and nurture the Family Unit. These programs can focus on addressing the inequities in education resources in disadvantaged communities and in disadvantaged households exacerbated by the aftereffects of a Global Health Pandemic. These programs can also address the educational digital divide in disadvantaged households and provide supplemental resources such as online tutoring or academic coaches, Parental Virtual Learning toolkits, or access to hotspots for online learning or after-hour homework. Additionally, this grant can support programs that address and try to repair the economic and health disparities along with food insecurities that African American families disproportionately face.
This grant is offered to Jack and Jill of America, Inc.

These programs should focus on addressing the inequities in education resources exacerbated in the aftereffects of a Global Health Pandemic. Programs can include the establishment of traditional Reading Corners or can expand to offer programs that provide technology aids, supplemental literary or tutoring resources, digital books, and other creative resources (i.e virtual storytimes or book sanitizing products) that specifically promote literacy when in-person projects present overwhelming challenges. The goal of this grant is to create programs and give opportunities and exposure to students who have under-developed or below average reading and literacy skills to help them improve their cognitive abilities, passion for learning, the joy of reading, and their desire for academic success.
