The Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy and the Get Georgia Reading Campaign are pleased to support the FY2024 Community Coalition Grant Initiative. The Deal Center is investing in projects that use the four research-based pillars of the GGR Campaign as a framework for cross-sector collaboration, to advance developmentally responsive practices throughout a community, town, city, and/or county. This initiative funds projects that foster optimal conditions for educational, social, language, literacy, and/or cognitive development for Georgia’s children from birth through age five. 

Thirteen (13) grants of $10,000-$24,000 were awarded.
