Family Literacy Grants

[Ben Harris]

Hello-

I received this off of a Foundation Center RFP listserv.  I figured some of
you probably have family literacy projects and some of those projects might
need some funding.   The Foundation Center RFP listserv is sent out every
Friday and is sent only in the sector(s) you are working.  For more info go
to their website- http://www.fdncenter.org/pnd/rfp/youth.html
