Dollar General – Beyond Words Disaster Relief
Grant Amount: Not Specified
Information
Dollar General sponsors a school library disaster relief fund for public school libraries in the states served by Dollar General. The fund provides grants to public schools where the school library program has been affected by a disaster. Grants are to replace or supplement books, media, and library equipment in the school library setting.
Grants will be awarded to public school libraries that have incurred substantial damage or hardship due to a natural disaster (e.g., tornado, earthquake, hurricane, flood, avalanche, mudslide), fire, or an act recognized by the federal government as terrorism. The goal is to provide funding for books, media, and library equipment that support learning in a school library environment. The impact can be through direct loss or through an increase in enrollment due to displaced and evacuee students.
