FHCCF: HancockREADS Grant

The FHCCF: HancockREADS grant aims to enhance community literacy by funding proposals that address local literacy challenges. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their ideas with the program director for technical assistance before submission. Successful projects should promote agency cooperation, generate community support, and demonstrate the capacity to secure sustainable funding. This initiative supports both preventive measures and remediation efforts, ultimately striving to strengthen the overall effectiveness of local literacy programs.
