About VLF Grants | Virginia Literacy Foundation Virginia Literacy Foundation (VLF) grants target Virginia’s 501(c)(3) community-based adult literacy organizations that provide literacy, ESOL, and numeracy services to adults 18 years and older. It is a one-year grant and we look for grant proposals that focus on one project whose outcomes can be achieved in one year.
Since 1987, the Virginia Literacy Foundation has funded an average of 25-30 community-based and faith-based adult literacy programs each year with grants ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. Programs that have been steadily funded by the VLF collectively serve over 10,000 adults annually, using approximately 5,000 volunteers. The Virginia Literacy Foundation (VLF) accepts funding request applications for grants on an annual basis.
The Request for Proposals (RFP) is placed on the VLF website by February each year, and the deadline to submit an online funding request is in March. Grants are reviewed by the VLF Grants Committee and grant recipients are notified in June. Award payments are mailed to the grant recipients in September.
All grants will be for one-year. Please focus your application on goals that are achievable in a year. Grant amounts are as follows: CBLO’s serving 30-49 students $5,000 CBLO’s serving 50-149 students $7,500 CBLO’s serving 150+ students $10,000 Students “served” should have at least 6 hours of annual instruction for organizations under 50 students and at least 12 hours of instruction for CBLOs serving 50+ students.
CBLO’s may partner with other nonprofits to meet funding guidelines for students served. VLF encourages you to use this grant as an opportunity to raise more money for your work by encouraging your donors to match the grant amount. Matching grants can double (1-to-1 match) the amount of funding you receive through increased and new donations.
