The Dollar General Literacy Foundation (DGLF) awarded more than $200,000 in literacy grants to Arkansas nonprofit organizations, libraries, and schools. Of the $200,000, literacy councils received $105,892. Congratulations to all the grant recipients!

The awards are part of a record-setting, single-day total of nearly $16 million in grants nationwide, supporting adult, family, and summer literacy programs in the 48 states where Dollar General operates. The milestone surpasses the foundation’s previous record of more than $13.2 million granted in May 2025.

“Since the foundation’s inception in 1993, our focus has remained on making meaningful investments in students, teachers and the organizations that support literacy and learning at every stage of life,” said Denine Torr, executive director of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. “We are grateful for the impact teachers and educators make every day and are excited to have another record-setting year of helping expand literacy access for learners of all ages. These funds will help educators enhance their instruction and create opportunities that empower students to reach their full potential.”

The grants support schools, public libraries, and nonprofit organizations within a 15-mile radius of a Dollar General store or distribution center. Funding may be used to purchase new technology, books, materials, or software to enhance literacy programs.

Dollar General, Thank you for your support of our Adult Tutoring Program! With your generosity, we can serve adults in the Twin lakes community as they strive to get their GED, pass the written driver's exam, learn English, digital skills, workplace soft skills, and learn how to manage their financial health. Of course, we are here to help with reading fluency and math, as well.
Your contributions to our program will help people in our community pass the GED and learn skills to help them get and keep a job.
