The Mind Trust has awarded $130,000 towards literacy programs in Indianapolis
Literacy is the foundation for learning, and The Mind Trust is promoting student literacy across Indianapolis! In March 2021, the organization launched a Go Farther Literacy Fund, and since then the program has invested $130,000 in literacy projects. Patrick Jones, The Mind Trust Senior Vice President of Leadership & Equity, joined us today to share more about the literacy initiative.
During the most recent round, the Go Farther Literacy Fund awarded a total of $50,000 to 18 projects led by Indianapolis families, teachers, and community-based organizations. Author Amber Echols received $4,000 to provide her book “Finding My Voice with a Speech Disorder” and an accompanying workbook to more than 175 local K-2 students.
The Mind Trust will announce when the next round of funding is available, and the organization encourages people to start thinking of their next literacy idea!
