Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to promote, support, and advocate for effective delivery of quality adult and family literacy services in Florida. It says it supports more than 250 adult education, literacy, and family literacy providers, with particular emphasis on training and program development for community-based literacy organizations.
Its grantmaking includes health, financial, and family literacy initiatives. The coalition’s website describes family literacy grants as supporting Florida schools and educational organizations seeking to establish or expand family literacy programs. Its 2026 family literacy request for proposals calls for adult literacy or ESL instruction for parents or caregivers, age-appropriate educational activities for children, and interactive parent-child literacy activities.
The 2025 grantees included literacy organizations, educational institutions, a school district, and social-service organizations. For example, Literacy Council of Sarasota described its work as tutoring adults in reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension, while recruiting and supporting tutors. Literacy Alliance of Northeast Florida described its mission as improving adults’ self-sufficiency, economic mobility, and quality of life through instruction and volunteer tutoring. These are the grantees’ own descriptions of their work.
